General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This is not a normal and usual thing to have and needs a detailed evaluation by endoscopy by an ENT Surgeon and Ct scans of throat ( neck )brain brain.
If needed Neurologist's opinion may also be needed.
This can occur due to a mass or swelling, unequal growth or a neurological problem concerning the nerves supplying the throat area.
