What Does A Lump In The Throat Indicate?

I feel a lump in my throat that started last night. I thought a vitamin didn t completely go down but I ate and drank warm tea without any relief. I feels like it s pushing in toward my trachea and although it s not affecting my breathing it is concerning.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lump on throat which could be due to granular pharyngitis and due to other systemic conditions such as reactive hyperplasia. Need not to worry. 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. Do warm saline gargles . Avoid excessive cold carbonated drinks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
