My first impressions are either thyroid or swollen lymph nodes but best to be checked.

Is there any pain whilst swallowing or any other symptons does the lump hurt to be touched? Have you been in contact with anyone with mumps?

do you ever cough up stinking creamy coloured balls?

i get a lumpy feeling in my throat and it turns out it's tonsil stones.
