If by throbbing, you mean pain, it might be some type of migraine, spasm, or situation caused by an enlarged lymph node near the carotid artery. ...
If the artery is pulsating, that's a situation.that needs to be evaluated by a doc. It might be insignificant or risky. No way to tell without seeing a doc.

There may be blockage, hopefully she is not a smoker.

You mean the "carotid" artery, not the "corroded" artery.
If you're concerned about your mother's cardiovascular health, encourage her to see a medical professional.
