Why when i swallow sometimes i'll feel a lump in my throat that won't seem to go away with water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throat lump: Lumps in the neck can sometimes be a variety of things, like normal salivary glands or lymph nodes. Other things such as congenital mass and cysts can also occur. You could also have something like a tumor. It is best to have it looked at to make sure you know what it is so you can get the right treatment, if you need it.

Can GERD cause a feeling of something stuck in your throat that gets worse when drinking liquids? Even water and warm tea make the sensation of "a lump" worse for a few minutes until swallowing a few times?
Sore throat on one side when I swallow. No tonsils. I see a penny sized lumpy bump way back on that right side what looks to be on the pharyngeal tongue and/or throat. What could it be, will gargling with salt water help?
