The throat feels like a lump, generally related to tonsillitis, chronic pharyngitis and throat tumors.
1. Tonsillitis: when tonsils produce inflammatory reaction, under the infiltration of inflammatory cells, local capillary expansion, blood flow increases, tonsils will be congested, swelling, resulting in tonsil enlargement, so the throat feels like a lump.
2. Chronic pharyngitis: the mucous membrane of the throat is stimulated by inflammatory factors for a long time, and lymphoid follicular hyperplasia will occur in the back wall of the pharynx, the root of the tongue and other parts of the throat, which can lead to a lumpy feeling in the throat.
3. Pharyngeal tumor: when there is a tumor in the pharynx, when it grows outside the wall of the pharynx, it will cause a lumpy feeling in the throat because of its occupying position.
There may be other reasons for the lumpy throat, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for a complete examination to clarify the cause of the disease and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
