I’m so sorry. Prayers for continued positive healing. I had an elective surgery due to chronic tonsillitis and constant tonsil stones. Pathology reported no malignancy. It’s been over 4 months now and my taste is still off and this throat/swallowing issue remains and is getting worse rather than better. I was reading all my surgeons and pathology notes. Noticed that while pathology reported no malignancy, each tonsil had reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Surgeon also noted at second follow up on MyChart that “there is possible scaring from the anterior pillar to the posterolataral tongue on both sides versus normal healing”. He never mentioned that to me. I wonder if any of those observations is causing my issues. I guess I’ll find out soon once the swallow test is done and we have a chat about results. I’m going to mention both things I read in his “notes”. Thanks again for sharing your story.
