Lump In Throat....
I guess about two days ago or something I discovered a feeling of a lump in my throat when I swallowed. It was at the top, back of my throat and I continuously swallowed and got it to the bottom of my throat but it wouldn't go any further. Then it came back up to the top....It's really annoying. It doesn't feel sharp or anything, just a mushy lump that doesn't want to move. I REALLLLY hope it's not a bug because that would descusting....oops I spelt that wrong...I think. Well, my mom said not to worry about it but that's what she says about everything so Help? THANKS!!!! :D

It may be nothing as mom says or it could be something as you may think it is. Like the others I'm not a doctor so I can't say.
Recently though I learned of a friend who ignored a lump at the back of his mouth/top of his throat and now faces surgery for its removal. My wife is also a survivor of Breast Cancer because of early intervention when she found a lump in her Breast.
While I do not wish to scare you and I'm 90% sure what you feel is nothing. I am 100% certain that you should see a doctor. Preferably and Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat specialist as they have the skills and training to properly see down your throat and evaluate what you are feeling.
My feeling is that there is no reason not to have certain things checked out. When it comes to lumps and bumps it is in your best interest to do so. If you have heath insurance the visit is covered. If you don't have health insurance you can go to a free clinic. As a child under 18 you can visit any hospital emergency room as there are federal programs to cover uninsured children's medical needs.
In fact if you are over 14, under a different federal law called HIPPA,you have medical privacy. Meaning you do not need parental permission to see a doctor and the doctor cannot tell anyone what they see you or treat you for without your consent. There are some exceptions such as things like surgery that might require parental permission; though the doctor will inform you of this before talking to your parents.
My advise is to see a doctor and have this thing checked out.

I've had this for months. It's like a sensation of something being stuck in your throat. It is really annoying.. I went to the doctor for it and sadly they can't do anything about it. It can't be seen, and it doesn't mean your getting sick. When I had this happen, I looked it up on google; and you'd be surprised how many people have been through it before. Try gargling salt water, with hot water; and if that doesn't work try eating apiece of bread and getting that to push it down. If that doesn't work than its Acid Reflux. Its nothing serious, its just from spicey food or acids that you eat.
Look it up more on google and you might find somethings to fix the feeling of something being stuck in your throat. Mine comes and goes; depending on what I eat. I'm not a doctor so i don't know if yours will be the same way.
Just try it out and see.
Something that helped mine is taking a medicine for Acid Reflux. It's a capsil pill and its blue/green and pink. Im not too srue what its called, but everytime I took it, the thing in my throat went away.

it is sick season so possibly you are getting sick but i dont think you swallowed a bug ;) but maybe get a doctor to check it out or even the school nurse or yor mom. Find out what it is and if hurts you really should something about it or if it's irratating. If u cant see a nurse or ur mom or doctor dont know what's up try taking some medicine that make colds go away it might be a symptom of a cold. Sorry and hope it goes away

You should probably see a doctor. Your mom won't be able to accurately diagnose whatever is going on. You could go to a regular doctor or an Otolaryngologist (Ear, nose, and throat specialist) who will be able to help you.
