Hi both, had my appointment with ENT consultant this morning. Over the weekend the lump became quite tender and it felt hot, I've also noticed that I have constant phlegm at the back of my throat, as of yesterday though the lump seemed to return to how it first felt, size still remains small and has not changed. She asked me to point out where I thought the lump was. She was really nice and talked me through everything as we went along. She physically checked my mouth, ears and neck and said it all feels as it should. I then had the nasolaryngoscopy which is the fibre optic tube down your nose, didn't feel a thing as they give you a numbing spray up your nose, didn't taste great though. She checked everything and said she couldn't see anything abnormal and no legions, everything looks healthy and as it should. She stated that my lump could have been caused by trauma to the neck when eating something which is why it then would have become inflamed, and then mucus getting caught at the back of my throat as a result, but she states its sorted itself out and back to normal. As I said before my brother has one very similar on the opposite side of his neck. I feel more at ease now but I will continue to monitor now and again for anymore changes.

That’s brilliant news so happy it was all positive. 

That's great! Glad it was all okay :)
