Swollen Parotid and possibly the Tonsillar gland

I felt sore on the right side of my face when I washed it last night and this morning it was a hard lump, some swelling and also sore at base of my ear...not like blown up but very tender and swollen....

@LucyBell I had a similar scare, with sudden severe hip pain.  My GP was also very difficult to get to (it’s those damn gatekeepers again) but I rang my surgeon who immediately arranged a bone scan.  I did ultimately have to have a hip replacement, but at least the scan proved negative for cancer.  You need a definite answer.  Keep pushing!
