Can anyone help me figure out what this lump is on the back side of my left tongue? It's hard when I touch it, and I'm a bit worried about what it might be.

View allI've been feeling some pain just below my Adam's apple when I eat or drink lately. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to worry about what it could be. Is there a chance this might be some kind of cancer, or could it be something else?

I'm feeling this heaviness or pressure on the right side of my throat, like there's some pain there. There's no fever, cough, or anything like that. When I press on it, I feel something like a bean moving upward when I swallow. I only notice it when I swallow something. Could it be a gland or a tumor? If it were throat cancer, wouldn't I have a cough, fever, or other symptoms? I'm really scared. Can you tell me what the exact symptoms of throat cancer are?

I'm a bit worried about taking Vertin 8mg. My doctor recommended it for three times a day, but I'm not sure about it. Is it really safe to take that much?
