I saw and ENT doctor early last year and diagosed with 3 spongy lumps on the right side of my neck.  They are slightly harder to touch and I have a sore throat every morning which disappears quite quickly once I have eaten.  I sometimes feel I am going to choke on my food.
HI. First you have t get a diagnosis about the spongy lumps by ultrasonography and FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology. The sore-throat which gets clear is usually due to postnasal Chat Doctor.  A proper ENT examination again would tell us the reason for the chocking sensation
