What Causes Lump On The Throat With Pain?

Hi.. For the last 2 months something has been irritating what i would call the wall of my throat.. Went to the doctors nothing there and said i was fine.. Soon after i started to get niggling pains in my throat more the left side... I then randomly one day found a lump but its not hard and sometimes i cant feel it about a grape size where my heart beats in my neck on the left hand side.. Whilst this had been happening i also hear my heartbeat vigorously in my left ear especially at night time when i try to sleep. I feel like im going mad as ive been to the doctors and they said im fine however i never seem to get out my symtoms properly without stumbling over my words.. Im a highly stressed person and lately it had been very bad however ive been freaking out so much about my health i feel like im damaging it? The heart beat in my left ear is very like a wooshing sound and i am only 20.. Please help :(

Hello
Looking at your description, It seems to be related to inflammation of the throat.
Here I would like to know if you are running fever or having nasal congestion or blockage ?

In my opinion you should do gargling with warm.saline water and if it doesn't improve than you can take anti allergic drugs like levocetirizine or fexofenadine.

If it's not subside even with this treatment than you may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor.

Thanks for your question
Please do let me know if you have any more queries
wish you good health
