Hello ,
Thanks for consulting hcm
Read your query sore throat and small lump like feeling in throat can be due to strep throat or due to inflammation of tonsils . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for examination of throat . lnmeantime do warm saline gargle , you can take medicine like Allegra or Azithromycin by consulting with local doctor .
Hope this will help you.
