What Causes And Treatment For Lumps In The Throat?
Hi, I have a horrible lump in my throat making it so difficult to swallow that I haven't eaten for nearly 2 days .
I have had 2 days off of work as I also ache all over my body and have not been able to move out of bed .. The lump in my throat feels as though at times it is making me very short of breath. Please help!
