Please tell me, could a throat infection leave a lump above the adams apple?

Yes, but: Yes, only short term. If lump persists beyond a few days after the throat infection, see ENT doc.

See your PCP: If it does not go away in two weeks, it would be best if you visited a doctor in order to find out the cause.
