Lump At The Back Of Mouth Since Years, Irritaion While Swallowing, Feels When Inserted A Finger. Is It Serious?

I have what feels like a lump towards the back of my mouth. It s almost right where the tongue meets the gum line. I ve had this feeling before, years ago. It feels irritated whenever I swallow or eat something, but it isn t very painful, just annoying. I can t see it in the mirror. I can only feel it when I stick my finger back there. It feels like a small lump. What could it be and is it serious?
