What Causes Stuffy Throat Feeling?

I noticed it felt like I had something stuck in my throat. I began to cough and I coughed up a few tonsil stones. I now have a flap of skin on my tonsil. It almost looks like a polyp. It still feels like a piece of food is stuck in my throat. I am 23 and a very light smoker. I am very worried.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the throat can be secondary to peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole combination. Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
