Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of coughing hard for 4 months, feeling of something in the throat.
The reasons can be:,
Real lump in the throat
Allergic manifestations in upper respiratory system.
Infection in the throat like tuberculosis or so.

I would advise you the following:

Tests of blood.
, urine, X-ray of the chest.
Test of sputum for AFB, culture sensitivity.
These tests may give diagnosis.and proper treatment can be started.
ENT Endoscopy will give further idea about the diagnosis.
