What Causes Lump In The Right Side Of The Throat?

Hello, I am 23 years old and over the last 6 months or so I have this weird thing going on in my throat. I feels like there is a lump just to the right (my right) and a tiny bit below my adam's apple. I don't notice it all the time but it seems to "swell" up when I sneeze and when I push on it, it clicks and goes away. It doesn't hurt at all but I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of this happening?

Hi,Good Evening and Thanks for the query to My virtual Clinic at HCM.
This could be a laryngocel?pharyngocele-if increases with valsalvas manouever ?or could be Zenkers diverticulum -or pharyngeal pouch -if with swallowing difficulty.
So mostly-it is layrngocele or pharyngocele as no dysphagia is complained by you.
CT study of the pharynx and larynx would fix the diagnosis.
This reply would help you to plan treatment with ER Surgeon /Ent Surgeon.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Hit Thanks if this reply is helpful to you.
With Regards.
