What Causes Blocked Feeling In Throat?

Hi - i ve had th sensation of something being stuck in the back of my throat for around a month now. This happened in last August and disappeared about 6 weeks later. My throat is not sore but I noticed a white bit on my left tonsil which disappeared within a couple of hours. It doesnt irritate me im just conscious that something is there. My salivary duct on the left hand side was blocked a couple of years ago which resulted in the left hand side of my face swelling but it disappeared on its own. Im thinking this may be related?
