What Is The Lump In The Throat That Appeared After Vomiting?
Last night I drank too much and threw up many times (20+). This morning there is a lump in my throat that makes it uncomfortable to swallow and it also just constantly hurts. Is this something I should be worried about or simply something that will go away and was caused by throwing up so many times?

HI.
Yes, you have rightly noted.
The forceful vomiting must have caused edema of the area you noticed to have a lump.
You have to be worried about as it will take too much time to heal on its own. It is advisable to consult a Doctor , preferably ENT Specialist to get this examined , confirmed and get a proper treatment for an early recovery. This part is most important as one has to swallow liquids and foods daily.
