Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat and dry cough which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection and formation of lump like feel is due to swollen lymph node/tonsils. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should for fine needle and aspiration cytology as well. Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in room.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
