LUMP IN THROAT

2019-03-31 14:34:02
I have a lump in the throat above the adams apple right between the tonsils. I am a smoker since nine years. I have a persistent sore throat and mucous/ cough. lump is since a year. I had shown an ent specialist a year back at apollo hyderabad and he suggested , that the lump is because of gasteritis issues, and harmless. I did an Endoscopy test too as was suggested by the doctor. But the lump is still there and I am a bit concerned. Should i go for further tests?
