Swelling in Throat
From the last couple of days, my mom is having an abnormal throat pain which she misunderstood as one of the symptoms of common cold. But suddenly she started experiencing pain and a slight swelling in her throat. Today we have consulted a physician who recommended a few test to be done and was done today. Attached are the results of the tests that she has taken today. She is really worried and mentally down which is affecting our whole family mood. Kindly go through the results and advise me if there is something wrong or something needs to be done promptly. Thank you in advance
