probably a Cricopharyngeal Spasm... it feels like a lump in your throat that comes and goes...food is easy to swallow but drinks irritate it. im 13 and i have this. it is really annoying but my doctor said it should go away completely in a couple months. when it bothers uyou try drinking some hot tea or drinkable soup (i recommend soup at hand :-D ) hope this helps and makes you less scared of it cuz i know i was super scared when i started noticing it
When I read the "cricopharyngeal spasm" explanation I tried what I do when any muscle in my body spasms or cramps.
I stretched out the muscle to relax it.
I stretched my neck up and tilted my head back somewhat then forced a swallow and its working.:-)
I'm having to do it a few times but at least I know how to fix mine now.:-)
Thanks!

OMG, I was worried!!!< I coughed one day and boom, i started feeling a lump in my adams apple and below it sometimes. im gladd i found this website. i had been drinking 4 cups of coffey a day. imma stop and see if this help clear it up!! thanks again!!!!!!! i love tha internet!!!! how would i have done this research without the internet??
I have been having this since 2 months now.
It is more like a small dry lump towards my right side of the throat and when I swallow grainy stuff I feel it is getting stuck there. It scared the hell out of me and I went to a GP. Since I also post nasal drip, she gave me medicines for cold and throat irritation. But it was of no use. Then I visited an ENT and 'asked' her to do a Diagnostic Endoscopy. :'( She could see some irritation which was not due to dust allergy or heart burn. I had pharygitis too for which I got antibiotics. Her diagnosis was Adenoids which was also rare for my age (twenties). Anyway, since it did not get cured, she asked me to take a Nasopharynx lat view x-ray. It showed minimal opacities in the region and that scared the hell out of me. I got more antibiotics and anti inflammatory triggering off my acidity/gastritis making life miserable.
So during a conversation with an Onco Surgeon I know I mentioned this. Immediately he consulted it with his senior and said that there was no reason to worry. He was God in white coat at that time for me and I will always remember him for his prompt assistance. The senior consultant said that it would subside on its own.
Even now, I have the irritation though it had subsided for a few days. :-( If I have an ice cream it kind of bothers me. I don't like the idea of surgery if it is adenoids.
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks.

I've been having this same problem since Dec,2010 . It showed up 3 weeks after gallbladder surgery. My ears itch on the inside , i cough a lot , my nasal passages are completely dry and where the adam apple is , my throst feels completely dry and that is where the "ball" of whatever is located. I have been to the ENT , no luck tells me it's all in my head. What worries me is , when I had the upper gi done prior to my gallbladder surgery, the "lump" disappearred for 3 wonderful days . This has me scared to death, and I don't know what else to do or try.
I just had a meeting with a Throat Doctor and this is my diagnosis:
Tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones, are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucus and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths.
I got the same kinda lump thing in my throat, it hurts just it being there and it worse when i swallow hurts when i eat drink pretty much anything like that. its really painfull its been there for 3 days now started off as just a normal sore throat and keeps getting worse. the other night i was really cold.. but my freind said i was boiling. really hot and was sweating because of it but it felt like i was naked in ice.. probobly not something to do with it but could it be related. i still feel cold... but when i touch my skin its warm. Anyone no how the lump will go..as its very iratiing and hurts alot. ive had a fair few pain killers to help..
I came across this doing research for a friend. I'd like to link something by Dr. Oz, especially for the person who had a problem with his vocal chords as well. Turns out this lump sensation can be, among other things, vocal chord tissue swelling caused by acid reflux, allergies and infections. ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web addresses not allowed***
that happend to me and i was sick , my grandma said you will be fine or something like that.i started to cough.i was worried then when every time i drink water inside my neck,it hurts where i felt the lump.i also sniff and i am sort of worried to ask my grandma about it,i dont know why,but ill try now.by the way im 9 years old.
Bless ur heart.. I know this was over a year ago, But I`m going through the same symtoms. It worries me because I do have acid reflux..I am saying a prayer for you even though a year has passed, And I hope this finds you well.
GREAT NEWS... BUT..
