Sore throat, some dry cough and weird feeling in throat. Is it covid 19?

I have this weird feeling in my throat. When I swallow my saliva hard, I feel like a lump. But there is nothing around my neck when I touch it. I gargle here and that and it gets better but then comes back again. I also been getting wisdom tooth for years, and it never comes out fully. Always stuck in between and I do get some pain cause of that.

I been having sore throat and some dry cough. So I was wondering if all these symptoms are of covid 19 or could it be anything else. It been over a week, my symptoms did not get worse but still the same. I have no runny nose or watery eyes or fever.

Agree, get tested.  Both are common symptoms of covid.  Doesn't mean you have it, and if you do it sounds like a mild case, but again, you do have two of the most common symptoms.

If the lump feeling in the throat goes away right after gargling then it is nothing. Many people get sore throats and sneeze from allergies (although you mentioned a cough which is different and is a potential covid symptom) so these 2 symptoms can be covid or something else. Call your health board to see if they think your situation warrants testing - or if they even have the tests available. Only a test can determine if you have Covid.
