Experiencing Burning Sensation At The Base Of The Throat , What Is The Problem ?

I have a burning sensation at the base of my throat where my neck attaches to my collar bone. It is right at the indentation at the base of one's neck. I do not have heartburn nor digestive issues. I am dairy and gluten free because I am sensitive to them both. What could this be besides a virus or bacteria?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Two conditions could be apparent one is reflex acid effect and second is allergic, these both can be treated together, for the reflex acid problem you can have proton pump inhibitor drug and the Omeprazole 40 mg once in day would be good take this for at least three week for allergic condition have Levocetrizine 10 mg twice day for 10 days these will give good relief, nothing to worry about this, have nice time, (Stop taking heavy meal coffee alcohol smoking prior to sleep)
