Suggest Treatment For Lump On Throat

Im hpv positive and i have a lump in my throat. 2 different ct scans plus pet scan shows nodules in lymp nodes next to sinus and tonsil area. Is there anything to heal it or can it be taken out? Doctors have really no answer for me about possible oral hpv (possibly ).

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 reactive hyperpleasia, lymphoid hyperplasia , any malignant pathology. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and go for examination and 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 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
