I'm worried because I have a lump on the bottom of my throat. I'm not sure if it's Streptococcus, but it worries me a lot.

Lymph nodes can be affected with Streptococcus but…best to have a GPs opinion on these lumps.

It could also be the Thyroid gland that can sometimes swell.

Yes….swelling, sometimes lumps…..can be related to the Thyroid Gland…which is at the front. It’s always best to have a medical opinion.
