What Causes Feeling Of Having Lump In The Throat?

I am a college student and I started smoking hookak a little while back. Recently my throat and neck have been feeling weird, kinda like its swollen. I had strep and was on antibiotics and didn't smoke and started to feel better but than my glands and tonsuls were still swollen and they put me on a general really strong antibiotic. After finishing my medication i waited a while before i smoked again and now that feeling of a lump in the my throat is back. What is it?

Hi,I can understand your problem.Your feeling of uneasiness could be due to recurrent episodes of pharyngitis which is directly related to smoking.You have to quit or avoid smoking for long time.You can also start doing gargles 3-4 times a day and start some anti allergic drug.
Thanks
