<human>: Last night I drank too much and threw up many times (20+). This morning there is a lump in my throat that makes it uncomfortable to swallow and it also just constantly hurts. Is this something I should be worried about or simply something that will go away and was caused by throwing up so many times?
<bot>: HI. Yes, you have rightly noted. The forceful vomiting must have caused edema of the area you noticed to have a lump. You have to be worried about as it will take too much time to heal on its own. It is advisable to consult a Doctor, preferably ENT Specialist to get this examined, confirmed and get a proper treatment for an early recovery. This part is most important as one has to swallow liquids and foods daily.
