Be seen: It is likely inflammation from a mild infection, but you should be evaluated to make sure it is not a polyp or other mass.

? globus: It could be globus, which is a foreign body sensation that is usually benign and related to anxiety. I agree with dr. Hines that you should be checked by an ENT or pcp for some simple tests to help with the fear and concern that this is causing you.
