Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lump in the throat leading to breathlessness which is due to infection of upper respiratory tract and it could be due to inflammation of tonsils. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetirizine. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may recommend tonsillectomy. Drink plenty of fluids specially warm water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
