Researchers have published data which suggests a lump in the throat could be another sign of long Covid. Anxiety, stress and "brain fog" are some already well-known symptoms that people suffer with when getting over a bout of coronavirus.
But Hull Live 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."
