For about 2-3 months now i have had the
feeling of food getting stuck in the back
of my throat underneath my tonsils, its
small pieces of food that get stuck like
crumbs from digestive biscuits or bits of
peanut, my mum says the bits are just
getting stuck in my gullet, the feeling
started when my contraceptive pill got
stuck in my throat, it was so annoying. So
i decided to stick my finger down there to
see what i could feel and to my shock i
felt not a lump but a wierd shaped flappy
thing quite thick it is that i have never
felt before. I am really scared that it
might be cancer, i will go to my GP but i
cant sleep right now i will make an
appointment asap. Please could you tell me
what it is, and please dont say
cancer.

It is very hard to diagnose the problem
with your throat without a visual
examination. If you really feel that you
have something in your throat then you can
go to your primary health provider for an
examination. Then, your GP can send you to
an ENT-specialist if necessary.
