i have this HUGE swollen bump on my throat and i thought it was just a natural soar throat.... but im starting to reconsider....
i've never had a soar throat like this. and it hurts even when i talk but its perfectly fine whenever im just not doing anything.....
i've tried everything i can i gargled warm salt water 7 times a day and i even did it with hidrogen piroxyde...
can anyone tell me what they think it is and what i should do to cure it...

i dont think its a swollen lymph node because those are located i think on your collar bone,armpit, and your groin.....
the bump i have is starts at the under the back of my jaw near my ear but still on the neck and keeps going till about halfway to my voice box

It sounds like a swollen lymph node due to infection. This can be serious so go to the doctors as soon as possible.
If you can't see a doctor, get some echinacea from the health food store and take 3 capsules 3 times a day for 3 days. It is a natural antibiotic.
If you spike a fever or the swelling goes to another node, don't wait, go to the hospital as the infection is running your lymphatic system and could be extremely dangerous.

You need a doctor to diagnose your problem. If it is sore throat or acute tonsillopharyngitis, your doctor might see it fit to prescribe you some antibiotics. If it is something else, it is better that the doctor does a complete history of the "bump" and to have a proper physical examination.

i have experienced like that before, my doctor recommended me to use erythromycin. It's an anti-biotic, and it really works. Be sure to eat first before taking the said medicine...
goodluck!

Unless you had your tonsils removed, better go see a doctor, if you had your tonsils removed, it could be that they decided to grow back, it has happened.
