Q: my mom aged 55 developed this sudden lump like near her throat and it hurts should she be worried and get it checked. she doesnt remember having that before?

: She should get examined by a doctor in the next few days to identify the cause of the lump. If it is growing rapidly, or she is noticing worsening pain, fever/chills, or difficulty eating/drinking then she should be seen immediately.
