HI. The feeling of foreign body - like hair or so is indicative of a chronic form of pharyngitis as you have this problem for long. I would suggest you to consult an ENT Specialist, who on examination would give you the proper diagnosis and plan for a treatment. Chronic pharyngitis take more time to get well.
