I think I may have laryngitis or something, because I suffer from contiuous swallowing and it feels like there's a lump in my throat . When I swallow there a clicking sound, and this swallowing keeps me up all night. Also have runny nose and head ache. What do you think it is, and how should I treat it??

based from your description, it could be acute tonsillopharyngitis. it is best if you consult with a doctor for clinical evaluation. management (i.e. proper antibiotic regimen) will be directed accordingly. 5-10min gargle with lukewarm water or a gargle in the morning and before going to sleep will also be of help decrease the throat irritation.
hope this helps.
