Hello,
Feeling of lump in throat may be due to-accumulation of purulent exudate within the throat.
The sputum has to be completely removed out.
Take complete course of medicines as per prescription.
Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.
AVOID spicy foods.
Intake of cold foods has to be limited.
Hope this helps.
