Hello,
COPD and cirrhosis due to deficiency of alpha -1 needs to be managed by enzyme replacement.
Sore throat with a lump in throat needs clinical assessment by an ENT specialist.
In addition, clinical assessment and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy by a gastrointestinal specialist are also required.
The lump like feeling can also occur due to the disease process in the esophagus.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
