Hello,
As you have this problem since 5 years, so I think we have to investigate it.
As a physician I think it may be:
1) Cyst
2) Mucus accumulation
3) Acid reflux
I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the ENT surgeon for detail local examination.
I think you have to do endoscopy, CT scan neck region after ENT opinion if required for proper diagnosis. Treatment of that lump is as per the diagnosis.
Keep yourself well hydrated, maintain proper hygiene and drink boiled or purified water. Along with that, you continue with steam inhalation and betadine gargling twice a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
