WHAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES?
Lately I have been very very tired. When I swallow, on the left side of my throat, it feels sore and there appear to be blue spots on the outside of my neck. It is also sore to the touch. I am thinking it may have something to do with my thyroid. I was on antibiotics a couple of weeks ago because I had a throat infection and even though most of the soreness from the infection did go away, I still have the pain on the left side.
Monday is too late. Go to an ER.
If infections become encapsulated they often leave surgical draining as the only option.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
With sore spot on the inside of the throat and blue spots outside, an abscess should be though of. This would need incision and drainage. The other possibility is bleeding into the tissues due to infection. You could also be having gastric reflux which could be causing repeated trauma to tonsil and throat and thus preventing healing. t is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. You have an appointment, but it would be wise to either prepone it or go to an ER. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I have an appointment scheduled for Monday. As I stated, I was on antibiotics so quite evidently I have seen a doctor but the diagnosis was not complete. Thank you for your "concern".
