Pain in throat lump ?

Posted , 3 users are following.

hello,

The other day for about 2 to 3 days I had pain on the left side when I would swallow it felt like it was where my nose met my throat if that makes any sense. When I would swallow it felt like a sore throat but only on the left inside back where nostril meets back of throat. it would only bother me when i swallowed reeally. Now its day 4-5 & i have no pain on that side but i feel like i have a lump on the right side of my throat. it feels like a burp is stuck almost. i dont ghink it is acid reflux because ive never had it like this before. i took famotidine and it did not go away. any ideas? i do have CAEBV(mono)past infection. & last week had pain/fullness in ears at differnt times.

i smoked cigarettes for 4 years and juul for 3.

currently use juul pods 3% 1 pod every 2 day and trying to quit. i am 5'1 & 101lbs due to CAEBV.

    Listen I'm not a doctor and can't tell you for sure, but it sounds to me like you have LPR. You have very similar symptoms to mine. My symptoms started 3 months ago during my covid infection ( Not sure if it was connected ) and are still present. Doctors have hard time diagnosing this problem, I myself haven't been diagnosed by the doctor, everybody tells me that I'm either imagining it of overplaying my symptoms, but I've had reflux in the past and this is nowhere similar to this. I've been diagnosed with grade 1 GERD and the doctor basically told me that it was nothing to worry about, but I've ruled out everything else basically and can feel every symptom that I have so I'm, 99% sure it's LPR . My advice for you would be to see ENT doctor first instead of Gastro enterologist. Hope you get well soon, hope both of us get well soon

      This is interesting as I have exactly the same symptoms.

      Am seeing ENT on Thursday, but had a tube in nose just over a fortnight ago to examine throat and neck xray as felt something was stuck. Nothing showed.

      Do you try Gaviscon double action or something similar ?

      I get a lot of phlegm in throat and throat clearing all the time.

      I have no problems when lying down btw

      does not disturb me at night at all in fact I would say slightly better
