Lump in throat
Dear Doctor !
My mother has been sick from 2 months now. Half a month back we got most of her routine tests done and she was diagnosed with typhoid. Her treatment began 10-15 days back and she was even admitted for 3-4 days. After being discharged, she seemed fine but got 101.5 fever again last evening and then today around same time.
Meanwhile, she has been complaining of a strange lump in her throat area which she feels while swallowing things but it doesn't pain until the area touched.
Is this a smyptom of some other infection ! What more tests should we perform for her. Plz advise.

Get her thyroid profile done.. Subacute thyroiditis can have pain on touching thyroid on neck and fever which can't be explained by any other tests.
