What Does A Lump In Throat Indicate?
Hi, I have a lump sort of dangling from the left side of my throat by a thin strand of flesh. it is a little lower then the surface of my tongue but if i move my throat muscles you can see it come up. What could this potentially be and what could I do to help treat it?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The lump in the throat region can be because of the peri tonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician or an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics preferably amoxicillin and metronidazole combination (if you are not allergic ). Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care
