What Causes The Feeling Of Lump In The Throat?

I am a 51 yr. ole female & I have allergies year round & this past week I feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat that won t go down. I do have drainage from allergies but this is the 1st time I have had this problem. It is on the right side & the same ear feels like it is stopped up. My throat is sore & irritated & it does hurt when I swallow or eat. I have been to the doctor & she said it was allergies & my throat was fine but didn t test for strep or anything like that. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of lump in the throat which could be due to granular pharyngitis, enlargement of cervical lymph node, sore throat and could be lymphoid hyperplasia.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and go for examination and ultrasound study to find out extent of lesion. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump to find out the nature of lesion. You can start treatment after proper diagnosis. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles . Avoid excessive cold carbonated drinks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
