My cricoid cartilage seems to have changed in shape a little on the left side. When I swallow when my chin is in the down forward and down left positions it is though there is a lump in my throat which is not apparent when I swallow when looking ahead or to the right.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have some granular pharyngitis.  It gives sensation of lump in throat.  Just take a course of antibiotics and take saline gargle. If it is not healed then consul tent specialists and ho for examination.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
