Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

The most commonest cause of lump in throat is likely to be small lymph node which is quite commonly seen.
The exact cause will depend on location. It would be very helpful if you could provide me with following additional information

1. Where is exact location of lump ?

2. Do you have difficulty is swallowing?

3. Do you have sore throat?

Awaiting your response


Take care
