Blisters/Ulcers in throat

[thewickedlady]

Hi all,
back at the beginning of April this year I had a sore throat, I looked and saw I had a few ulcers/blisters in the back of my throat, I have never had these before, and they weren't there previous to that, I had just come off Omeprazole which I had been taking for acid reflux, and had been on them for 9 weeks.I had also just come off Yasmin contraceptive pill that i had been taking for around 8 years.

I went to see my GP and he said it was an infection of some kind, either viral or bacterial, and I didnt need any antibiotics and just to try corsodyl mouthwash, I did as he asked and over time I noticed the blisters/ulcers were still there, so went back a few weeks ago, I was given some hydro cortisone buccal tablets she said if they didn't work she would refer me to a ENT, she didnt seem to know what they were.

So I tried the five day course and I noticed that some of the ulcers have shrunk a lot in size to tiny, but I have a new one that has popped up in another place in my throat, can anyone shed any light? My appointment with the ENT isnt until September, I feel absolutely fine in myself and the ulcers/blisters don't bother me that much apart from  sometimes making me wake up with a dry sore throat on a morning.

I am a 37 year old female. I am beginning to worry about the dreaded Cancer word. Can anyone shed any light?

Hi
I saw the ENT and he said they were sub-epithelial lymphoid tissue and were normal as they were like "little tonsils". He said he wasnt concerned about them at all.

Thank you so much for your reply. It is very helpful. I don't smoke and don't drink a lot of alcohol either. I will be seeing the ENT on 4th September, I will let you know what they said, thank you so much :)
