Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Throat
I m a 23 year old female, and a few days ago I discovered a lump on my throat. It s just under my jaw, right in the centre of my throat, is hard, about 1cm in diameter and doesn t move. I ve got a bit of a cold, but otherwise perfectly healthy. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the cold.
Excess mucus from the nose and sinuses can accumulate in the back of your throat.
As it slides down your throat, it can cause a lump-like feeling by causing an increase in sensitivity.
I suggest to use a mucolytic such as Mucinex.
I also suggest to drink liquids and rest.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
