What Causes Lump Inside The Throat?

I noticed a lump on the inside of my throat at the back, I went to the doctors and he told me there was nothing to worry about. It is the same colour as my throat and does not hurt, he told me if it does not go away in a week to go back, it hadn t gone after a week so I went back and he gave me antibiotics to help it go. After taking them for a week it still hasn t gone and is the same Size, he told me it was nothing but I am worried he is wrong why would it stay so long and why would it not hurt?

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!

In the present case of penile swelling or lump, if I were your consulting physician, I would CONSIDER the possibility of chronic tonsillitis or neck lymph nodes!

As per your description, it is benign harmless lesion but could be some chronic infection like tuberculosis ; some tumor like lymphoma or just some benign lesions like cysts, common papillomas or some fibroepithelial polyp.

If you want to confirm it please go for an FNAC test and revert back to us.

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
