Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
The throat has a specific capacity to hold water/food before swallowing it and sending it into the oesophagus/stomach.
If you are drinking water constantly then the after certain stage the swallowing reflex starts which may be felt like your throat is closing.
So, you need not worry for this and can visit a doctor if there is any problem/pain during swallowing.
All the best.
