Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump like feeling in the throat can be because of the peritonsillar abscess. The excessive pooling of saliva can be because of the infection in the tonsil. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. Once the infection comes down, the salivary flow will become normal.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
