worried!!!!

Last tuesday i had a lump biospy under my jaw... well its going to be a week already and i been having a horrible sore throat and earache... My question is could this be of the fine needle biospy? Im so scared that the lump is causing all this... By the way i been having this lump for atleast 10 years... Should i be concern about the sore throat and earache?

Hi mila21,
Oh boy, you're in that "fun" waiting stage between biopsy and results.  It's like torture, isn't it?  I hope you get good news next week.  

I can't imagine that a needle biopsy could cause a sore throat and earache, but I'm not a doctor.  If it does have to do with the lump itself, maybe it's pressing on something that is causing the pain.  You should call your doctor's office and talk to the nurse.  Tell her you just had a biopsy under your jaw and you've since developed a sore throat and earache.  Ask her if she thinks it's related to the biopsy or lump.  Hopefully she can put your mind at ease and maybe give you something to help clear it up.
