This is the feeling you get when you have TONSIL STONES.
They 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.
Doctors are divided about what causes them. Children and adults can both get them.
When they fall out of the tonsil, they are often a very tiny peice, and you don't notice, then you swallow it on accident, and it gives you a sensation like something is crawling up your throat, when really its just stuck there trying to get down.
The only way to get rid of these items is through a tonsillectomy. You can however try antibitocis and use of a waterpick (under doctors advice).
You can see these things if you lift the tonsil with a wet clean q-tip.
I had them for years. They are harmless to your health, but can be uncomfortable. I just had my tonsills removed... because I got tired of those nasty things.

I feel sorry for everyone of you suffering. I myself have hoarse voice and dryness of mouth. Lost most of my sense of taste too. I an told sjogrens is a possibility. I too have chronic sinusitis and asthma and get all my viruses in my throat and bronchial tubes. I have felt like I am nuts running back and forth to docs, ears, ents and rheumatologist. I am treating symptoms with lose gets act rinse, mouth spray, water in my nebuluzer. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I am praying for all to be well. It really is scary and debilitating. We are not crazy.
