What Causes Feeling Of Lump In Throat While Swallowing?
I feel a lump in my throat when I swallow. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't make me have trouble breathing. It is better at night and in the morning before I eat and gets more noticalbe during the day. Oddly, when I drink water, it is the most noticable. If I drink herb tea, it is less noticable. My tonsils look a little swollen, but not bad at all. What is this?

You need a ultrasound neck... If swelling is solid a fnac of the swelling for pathological diagnosis.
