Hi.
This is called Globus Pharyngis id the endoscopy shows no actual lump in the Pharynx.Get one done. This can be a Psycho-somatic disorder and an ENT surgeon on endoscopy can tell if there is Lymphoid Hyperplasia or a real lump due to Cancer or a Polyp or so. If the endoscopy is negative from any swelling , you need to consult the Psychiatrist for Psychological evaluation and treatment as you will feel this every-time you have stress or anxiety.
If there is a lump- treatment will be as per the diagnosis,; you also have lymph nodes for which you need a treatment .
