[|Human|] I recently started to feel a lump in the back of my mouth that I thought was on my tongue making it always feel like something was stuck to my tongue. When I looked in my mouth today, I noticed a pea sized lump in the back of my mouth near my uvula. I m a heavy smoker and have been for more than 15 years. I m concerned.
[|AI|]  Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With a history of chronic smoking for such a long duration, I would advise you to seek the opinion of an ENT specialist/general surgeon at the earliest to have a detailed clinical examination and related investigations to arrive at a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment without any delay. So, I would not consider it wise to opine on this problem of yours without a clinical examination. Till then, you could go for an antiseptic gargles only. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
