Hello,
The abnormal feeling could be because of the --
tobacco filled saliva goes into the throat , and causes irritation .
Secondly You had problem in the tooth and had an abscess, there could be some infection because of that.
You need to get an ENT consultation and take treatment accordingly.
And if required dental opinion can also taken to see for the presence of infection in the throat.
In doubt do reply.
