Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump and irritation in throat despite taking Pepto Bismol which seems to be due to allergic reaction and excessive production of acid leading to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Need not to worry. you should visit gastroenterlogist once and get it examined. You should go for endoscopy and get proper examination done. You should do warm saline gargles. You should take a combination of prokinetics like levosulpride along with omeprazole. avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
