Dear friend,thank you for your consultation.it is good to know that CAT Scan,blood work,allergy testing all have come normal.from my day to day clinical experience I presume your throat is harbouring infectious bacterias which is causing recurring infection in the form of swelling.so you should go to your GP and get clinically examined there.on the basis of examination,I hope he will give you some broad-spectrum antibiotic to kill those bacterias.also in home you should start gurgling in warm,saline water regularly 2 to 3 times daily for next couple of days.hope you will find my suggestions useful.best wishes for you.thank you.
