Hello

It is likely that you have a swelling in your throat due to throwing up and this is causing the lump like feeling.
Please meet your doctor as this has been for more than 2 weeks now and you should be evaluated by an endoscopy.
Please gargle with warm salt water 3-4 times a day , it will help.
Thanks
