Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of having feeling of lump in throat which could be due to granular pharyngitis, sore throat, gastroesophageal reflux disease, enlargement of cervical lymph node and due to other systemic conditions such as reactive hyperplasia, lymphoid hyperplasia and any malignant pathology. Need not to worry. You should not lay down immediately after having food. Avoid taking large meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid excessive cold carbonated drinks. 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.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
