Brief Answer:
possible globus pharyngeus/ hystericus
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
there is no likelihood of any cancer as there is no growth or mass in the throat and also the difficulty in swallowing is not every time you eat. Neither there is any separate difficulty in swallowing liquids and solids separately, so chances of throat cancer are ruled out.
This feeling of something obstructing throat can happen in cases of globus hystericus where there is a feeling of a lump in the throat when there is none or similarly gobs pharyngeus. This is often caused by inflammation of one or more parts of the throat, such as the larynx or hypopharynx, due to Cricopharyngeal Spasm, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), Laryngopharyngeal reflux or esophageal versatility.you should meet a neurophysician and take an concomittant ENT consultation as well.
