Hi, I had a fever starting about two weeks ago. Just the general runny nose, sore throat , etc. It subsided about a week ago but now i have a lump in my throat which is seriously sore and continually getting worse. What is it? I am on a university campus and health service closed at 5 and had classes all day so wasnt able to go.

it is due to enlarged tonsils or the lymph nodes and these are all body's immunity to infective agents and not to worry too much!
take hot saline gargles thrice twenty times daily for 1/2 days and if not resolving take antibiotics!
all the best!
