What Causes The Feeling Of Something Stuck In The Throat?

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
It could be a foreign body, a polyp , enlarged tonsil or a benign growth.
The oral cavity needs to be examined to rule out any lesion or growth.
I would strongly advise you not to use your fingers for locating the area. Consult your GP or an oral physician in this regard.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
