What Could Feeling Of Something Stuck In Back Of Throat Indicate?

Hi. My 18 year old son just told me he just notice that there was something at the back of his throat. I looked with a flashlight and could easily see his epiglottis without even depressing his tongue. It does not look inflamed. What could be the cause?
