Hi Dear .

As per your quer you have feeling of something struck in throat and doctor said it to me manifestation of old cold and cough . Well there can be many reasons for the symptoms you mention in query like :

- An object or food
- Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Tonsillitis
- Esophageal webs or rings
- Diverticula

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist again for proper diagnosis . Doctor may examine with laryngoscope , order CT scan , swab test and physical examinetion to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may remove if there is any thing stuck under local anesthesia . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory and may refer you to gastroenterologist if the problem is related to acid reflux .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
