Why do i get a painful hard white lump in my throat when i occasionally eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard throat lump: There are many causes dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. Major obstructions like enlarged tonsils can cause this. Reflux disease can also cause it, as well as an embedded foreign body. Finally, there are some anatomic deformities which can lead to symptoms, including diverticular disease of the upper digestive tract. It is wise to see a phyisican--gi or general surgeon--for an exam.
