Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Lumps in the throat under the chin associated with headaches, voice hoarseness, and dry irritation cough are due to acute infection of the throat, most probably laryngotracheitis. I highly recommend consulting with ENT specialist to rule out infectious mononucleosis. At home, you should do gargle with warm water and salt, apply oral antiseptic, take an analgesic.
