Hi, I am these days suffering from feeling of lump in the throat all the time.I try to clear my throat often and these increases a login the night wheny sleep gets affected because I cannot sleep due to the frequent swallowing of saliva because I feel a lot of saliva is being generated. Could this be sign of something severe? I had severe aCid reflexes and this problem of lump started happening after my D&C surgery recently when during anaesthesia they had to insert a pipe in my throat because of the acid reflux. Please help

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump on throat which could be due to enlargement of cervical lymphnode. It could be due to other systemic conditions such as acid reflux, reactive hyperpleasia, lymphoid hyperplasia , any malignant pathology. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and go for examination. You should go for ultrasound study to find out extent of lesion. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump to find out the nature of lesion. You should take few preventive measures such as keep head side high and take small meals rather than large meal. You should not stay empty stomach for longer duration. You can start treatment after proper diagnosis. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles . Avoid excessive cold carbonated drinks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
