What Could Soreness With Lumps On Throat Suggest?
Hi, I suffered from a bout of flu on Boxing day. It lasted for 5 days but after rest and fluids managed to shift it. However have not managed to get rid of the sore feeling like there is a lump in my throat. It is not painful just annoying as I cough all the time to try and clear this lump, its difficult to breath and my glands either side of the throat have been up for 3 weeks. I have felt really tired and forget important things on a daily basis although am sure this is related to the sore throat. Would appreciate some advice. Thank you

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-a Flu followed by secondary bacterial infection which got missed and was missed to be treated.
3 weeks throat glands with difficulty breathing prove above assessment.
As the flue has progressed in to chronic annoying cough to throw the lumps in the throat, I would suggest to have Second opinion from Chest Physician,who would check physically and would test blood /Sputum AFB and Xray Chest and By IGRA test/ and Mantaux test, to rule out any hidden subacute TB / Sinus X-ray to rule out the dripping post-sinusitis/Lower Respiratory Infection-with ? Brohchitis.
Hope this reply would help you to come out of the disease with your doctor.Second opinion with Ent and Chest Specialist is suggested.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
