Question : noticing lump in throat bottom of neck is this something that should be checked out not solid moveable
Brief Answer:
Lymph node is most probable.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank yoy for the query.
Most likely it is a lymph node. If it is single, rounded and does not grow, you can wait and see. Usually such node appears after some infection. It can be throat infection, ear infection or teeth infection.
If you smoke, cancer should be ruled out. To do that, you should consult laryngologist.
Otherwise just wait and see.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
