Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the lump in the throat do indicate underlying inflammation of the adenoid gland most likely from hookah smoking. Following measures will help you:
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- Prefer soft, easily palatable food stuffs
- Avoid smoking,hookah or other recreational drugs which will hamper the recovery
- Analgesic as acetaminophen or others after meals
- Consult your doc for prescription of antibiotic if needed
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
