A lump in the throat may be another sign of long Covid. Some symptoms can linger from the initial infection, while other well-known signs are “brain fog”, generalised pain and anxiety or stress.
But The Express reports patients could also experience a lump in their throat. Research carried out in the Netherlands, and published in the Lancet, collected self-reported data by more than 4,200 people, aged between seven and 53, with Covid.
It explains: “Persistent symptoms in Covid-19-positive participants at 90 to 150 days after Covid-19 compared with before Covid-19 and compared with matched controls included chest pain, difficulties with breathing, pain when breathing, painful muscles, ageusia or anosmia, tingling extremities, lump in throat, feeling hot and cold alternately, heavy arms or legs, and general tiredness. We found that about one in every eight patients are affected by persistent symptoms after Covid-19."
