Hello,

Severe acid reflux can cause a feeling of a lump in the throat.

As a first line management, you can try antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
