What Causes Hard Bump Inside Throat?

Need work up and correlation. Fluids till then only for intake
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Feeling of foreign body sensation of something stuck in the throat that hard to lead to bleeding while eating simple bread and coffee is unlikely. But the shortness of the history being instantaneous and out of the blue makes it a likely dysphagia ( difficulty swallowing ) secondary to foreign body or a simple spasm of pharyngeal muscles.
You trying to grab it and feeling it like a bud could likely be normal inflamed structure of the oral cavity like node or tonsillar pillar which got bleeding once you tried to grab and considered it a foreign body and tried to removed it, thus likely causing saliva to be tinged with blood.
Now the history of smoking makes such foreing body sensations very likely and with gastric discomfort or any past history of gastric acid reflux or simple dyspepsia makes the dysphagia and foreign body sensation more likely.
Nut shell beyond all these speculations, go to your doctor, let them run some labs and radiographs and if need be pass an endoscope to sort out if there is any actual foreign body impacted in throat. If so they will pick it out and happy ending.
If no then its the sensation of foreign body, an illusion of foreign body due to the history of smoking and likely gastric discomfort. In that case slight diet and lifestyle modifications and symptomatic care would help.
But first things first, talk to a doctor let them rule out foreign body impaction and manage you accordingly after correlating the history and investigations. Till then prefer fluids only for intake till all worries get cleared.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
