Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your mother has lump in the throat and headache . Well it seems to me that these are to different problems , which are not necessarily related . Lump in neck could be due to various reasons like sore throat , tonsillitis , laryngitis , pharyngitis , brachial plexus and salivary glands swelling . Headache you mention in query cane also occur due to various reasons like cluster headache , migraine and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia . But the probable reason for headache is migraine . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist and neurologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order throat swab test , virus culture test and CT scan of head . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for at least 5 days and medicine like vasograin for migraine .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
