Hi welcome to health care magic forum,
Looks like you are having problem in your either,mouth, tongue, tonsils, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, hard palate, soft palate, etc, so it may be affected by infection or inflammation or any malignancy (cancerous) any tumour/mass, etc.
So the cause has to be found out but how, I advice you to go to a ENT doctor for local check up like laryngoscopy, blood test for anemia, barium swallow ( a type of X-ray for esophagus) may be any lymph node is there than FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology has to be done, to find out the cause. Once the cause is found than treatment accordingly.


Regards,
Thanks.
