I'm really struggling hereI've had GERD and a swollen tonsil area for around three months. My ENT says it's tonsillitis, but now my neck is starting to swell a bit too. They gave me some antibiotics, but I'm just not sure what's going on. Could it be something else, or do I need more tests? What should I do next?
