What Causes Sensation Of Lump In Throat And Blood In Phlegm?
Hello, I've had the sensation of a lump in my throat below the adam's apple for the past 2-3 weeks which is normally worse in the evening. I thought that it may be stress related however after attempting to massage the muscles there has been blood in my phlegm.
