What Does A Lump In Throat Indicate?

I have had a lump in my throat that feels like a mucus plug for almost a month. I was on musinex for over a week and that seemed to help a little. Since I went off of it, the mucus has come back. My sinuses hurt a little but not much. My throat is dry but not sore. I am 59 and healthy. I teach fitness classes and my weight is average for my height. I do not want to be on medications forever. Do I need to see a specialist?
