Should I Be Worried About The Feeling Of Having Lump In Throat?
Hi i am a female age 45, weight 120, fairly good condition. I have had a lump in my throat like someting is stuck in it. It started last night. Everytime I drink and especially eat, send a pain into my chest. Almost like I drank or ate something down the wrong pipe per say. I thought it was bad indigestion, but nothing is working. Becoming very uncomfortable. What do you think it is? Shoud I be concerned?

hello. i think you should not be concerned. the lump may just be a mild swelling and may go away in sometime, however if it persists for more than 48 hours or you develop pain or fever then please consult your doctor immediately.for the time being you can just do salt water gargling four times a day and avoid spicy food. please let me know if you have any more doubts. thanks
