Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have feeling of a lump in the throat which is due to tonsillar enlargement or pharyngitis. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take proper antibiotic course such as Levofloxacin for 5-7 days. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Sinarest as well. Take few preventive measures such as do warm saline gargles on daily basis 3- 4 times a day. If it is due to acid reflux then you should take small and frequent meals and you should exercise daily. Visit ENT specialist once and get complete examination done. Go for blood tests along with that get chest x-ray done. you should go for fin needle aspiration cytology of lump and biopsy of lesion to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
