could it be a fish bone or something? If so, eat lots of dry bread and that might shift it...

if I had an adam's apple I'm sure I'd have a sore throat too

buy some strepsils

is it man flu?

Its probably a swollen gland caused by a cold germ. You will most likely get a full blown cold in a few days, or you will fight it off and it will go. If it doesn't go, though, see the doc.

Just check it out at the doctors if you can.
It may be a swollen thyroid...that feels like you have swallowed something and it hasnt gone down.

Notanotter, do you think it might be acid reflux? That can give symptoms of a 'lumpy' throat?
