Hello I was diagnosed with pharyngitis last year.. this year in march it turned into granular pharyngitis. Sometimes i feel some sensation in my cheeks too which goes away on its own. Now i see 3 granules and some swelling in my pharynx.. i gargle two times a day but awelling is not going away.. i am just concerned, does pharyngitis lasts this long or i should get any test done.. i got my ige tested in march itself and it was increased to 275. Dr. Said pharyngitus can be because of allergy.. but why is this swelling not going away... please help.. should i get any other test done..i just dont want anything else to be misdiagnosed as allergy... or please tell me that swelling because of allergy takes this much time to heal..
