Tonsil stone?: The sensation of a foreign body in the throat and bad breath, along with the absence of reflux symptoms, makes me wonder if there's as hard-to-see tonsillolith hiding way deep inside of one of your tonsillar crypts. If this persists, a visit to an otolaryngologist is in order -- it would be a shame to miss a mass with some potential to hurt you.

Allergies?: Do you have allergies and post nasal drip? This can also give you a feeling of something in the back of your throat. Your primary care doctor can help you with find out what is going on.
