What Causes Hard Lump On The Back Of The Throat?

I have a rock hard lump at the back of my throat directly behind the uvula, for a couple of days i thought it was like in my neck touching my throat as i can feel it somewhat in the way of my airflow. Its not painful in the slightest, i don t struggle to breathe or swallow, but i m worried it may be growing in size. it s about the size of a malteser but gets gradually smaller as i run my finger down it. its probably over an inch long
