What Causes Lump Feeling In Throat?

Hello i m worried about my dad... he went to see the doctor six months ago because of a problem with his Prostate- he s been finding it hard to go to the toilet even though he is desperate. The doc gave him some advice and said that it s normal for a man of his age (55) to have Prostate problems. However, he has also been complaining of a hardened tender lower jaw (the area which should consist of tissue- where the bottom of the cranium is located) and he explains that it feels like he has a bone/hardened lump there. He also has been getting sore throats and feeling like he has lumps in his throat- a little like the feeling of constant Catar build up. Is it possible that this could be cancer of the jaw bone which was brought on by a possible un-diagnosed Prostate cancer?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history about your Father.
HE has 3 distinct problems
1. related t prostate and the best way to have a proper diagnosis is:
- Blood PSA level
- Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and per-rectal sonography of the prostate.
- If there is a mass or so, ultrasonography guided biopsy.
This will confirm whether there is a benign problem or cancer and to get treated under the guidance of an Urologist for further medical or surgical care as may be needed.
2. Feeling of lump in throat- get a clinical evaluation and examination done by an ENT Surgeon to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
3. Hardened tender lower jaw:
CT scan will confirm the cause, ENT Surgeon will help further for biopsy, treatment and so on.

Hence all the problems will have proper diagnosis and treatment.
