Have Lymphoma, Sore Throat, Fever, Tonsils.
I HAVE LYMPHOMA since 2004 AND HAVE BEEN SICK FOR ABOUT 2 AND A HALF WEEKS SORE THROAT LOW GRADE FEVER SWOLLEN NODES. I still have my tonsils and my ears bug me a lot. I used to see my GP between oncology visits just to make sure everything was ok but had to change Dr.'s and the new one doesn't do any of the usual checks the old one did so I see no sense in going in to sit in a chair for 2 minutes and pay an office visit. I have an oncology appointment in a couple of weeks should I just wait it out?

Dear,
Ultimately you have to have oncologists opinion as there is possibility of recurrence. Waiting for one or two weeks does not matter. In the mean time you can use over the counter available drugs for symptomatic relief of fever like Tylenol. The GP will also manage you symptomatically and will not give you a specialised treatment.
