Brief Answer:
Do you have any other symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Would like to know if you have any other symptoms such as heartburn, food returning the stomach, bitter mouth taste, etc? Also, do you consume alcohol and cigarettes? Is this the first time you have witnessed these symptoms?

I will like responses so as to accurate evaluate your concern and make meaningful and helpful suggestions to you on how to address these. I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Brief Answer:
Try omeprazole and report progress to me!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

The most common cause of foreign body sensation in the throat is acid reflux. I will suggest that you take capsule daily of omeprazole 20mg and report your progress to me. Most patients report significant improvement and am pretty sure that might be the same with you.

Until next, I wish you well. Keep me posted!
