Lump feeling throat
I was playing soccer on cold night about a month ago. I was pushing myself physical, and yelling, etc. Halfway through, I felt a huge lump flare up in my throat. It felt that way most of the night, but slowly reduced in size or feeling. The 1-2 days hurt a bit to swallow. Over the next week or so, it went down to normal mostly. However since then, I have still felt a weird feeling, lump, or something in that same area. I can't feel it outside the throat, just internally. It doesn't hurt to swallow, and I forget about it part of the days.
However, sometimes I feel it more, and especially if I raise my voice, shout across the house, or maybe sneeze loudly..that seems to make it flare up a bit.
Anyone have any experience with this? I initially thought it was acid reflux, or vocal chord related, but the extended time period is worrisome.

jpl20, I wonder if you have strained your vocals cords? Personally, I would go see an ENT doctor and let him
use the light to look down in the back of your throat. He can numb your throat up to look around.
I wish you the best. Prayers & Blessings...
@covidstinks2023 appreciate the feedback. I'm going to schedule something with ENT soon. I hope it's just vocal chord related. My instant worry is always cancer related.
Yes i have a lump in my throat 3 years after to gue surgery for cancer. Its now been there 6 years and seems to have chsnged my saliva.
The lump is very uncomfortable and i get no relief from it. I havevjad endless scopes. Scans to head and neck and nothing shows up.
I cough and slutter all day long on it. Some doctors say its due to my tongue surgery ohers say it may be silent acid. My tingue from surgery is very uncomfortable as the removed part of my tongue. Dometimes it feels like thick daliva and mucus stuck in my throat.
