Can Hay Fever Cause Hard Lump In Throat?

There is a hard lump in my throat right beside my uvula, on the left side. I recently had a major allergy/hay fever attack and was very congested on that side of my sinuses. I m wondering if it s related? Possibly residual and will just go away with time? Or is it infected, etc.?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have hard lump in throat and you also had allergic reaction recently . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like tonsillitis , strep throat , uvulitis , viral pharyngitis , acid reflux and allergic reaction. I would suggest you to do warl saline gargles and betadine gargles alternatively , also take anti histamine like bendryl twice a day . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine physically or with laryngoscope , may order throat swab test and viral culture test . Doctor may also order CT scan . Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial , anti viral ( acyclovir ) , anti inflammatory , anti allergic and may recommend surgery like tonsillectomy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
