Brief Answer:
Please consult laryngologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The problem may be located in the throat, not esophagus. The most probable reason of it is enlarged tonsil. It wont be visible in endoscopy. That is why you should consult laryngologist to have it checked.

This does not seem serious. Especially if you do not smoke.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
