I having trouble swallow at times and a lump ?

Commonly harmless: The sensation of a lump in the throat and occasional difficulty swallowing is most commonly harmless, with benign causes including gerd (acid reflux, treated with anti-reflux meds), and anxiety/stress. Much less commonly, this can signify a tumor growth in the throat, which an ENT doctor can rule out with a flexible scope.

Dry Mouth: A dry mouth is one possibility. Dry mouth can be caused by dehydration, medicines, mouth breathing, age, illness. Make sure you are well hydrated.
