I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning.

Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition.

Consider the following steps:

• Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion.
• Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders.
• Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause.
• Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists.

Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.
