What Causes Painful Lump In Throat?
two days ago i had a sudden feeling that i have a lum in my throat, it's between my chin and my adam's apple. it hasn't subsided what so ever and it's really painful. i've had some cold symptoms as well. i know what strep throat feels like and this doesn't feel like strep throat.

hi.
first, you have to have a consult w a physician to do physical examination of your throat.. it could be an inflammatory reaction or any oropharyngeal pathology. if there's indeed a "lump", further diagnostic evaluation will be done such as neck ultrasound or ct-scan. antibiotic treatment will be prescribed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
