Could The Feeling Of Something Struck In The Throat Be A Problem?

Lately, I have been filling like something is stuck in my throat. It isn t hurting or anything, so I didn t really worry about it at the time.. but the feeling just recently got too annoying. I decided to stick my finger down, to see if I felt anything... but didn t feel anything. Besides, well... a rough area in the top-back part of my tongue. About an hour ago though, after not really feeling it much today... it started bothering me again, and I felt down there once more with my finger. I felt something this time. A slip like object, kind of like a lizard s tongue... I m not sure the best way to explain it because I m going off just touch. I can t really see it. Could this be a problem? Maybe, just a infection? Any answers would be appreciated.

HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
FIRST THING TO TELL U IS STOP PUTTING FINGER IN UR THROAT TO FEEL FOR SOMETHING. ITS VERY DANGEROUS. U MAY LAND UP WITH CAUSING DAMAGE OVER THERE LEADING TO BLEEDING FROM MOUTH OR PAIN. UR FEELING OF SOMETHING STUCK IN THROAT MAY BE DUE TO ALLERGY OR DUE TO ACID REFLUX. U MEET AN ENT SPECIALIST WHO WILL DO LOCAL EXAMINATION AND IF NEEDED, WILL PERFORM ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF UR THROAT. ITS PROBABLY NOT DUE TO AN INFECTION. NO NEED TO BE MUCH TENSE.
