Continual Throat issues

Hi,

My problems started back in about Februray, when I went to my GP after a high fever and general feeling of unwell. My throat was inflammed and I found it difficult to swallow. The fatigue seems to have remained on and off since i got sick. My GP prescribed an oral antibiotic as i found it difficult to swallow, and ordered a blood test for EBV. All came back clean. THe problem I have is a feeling of constant constriction and difficulty swallowing, food often doesnt go down, and severe coughing results. I seem to be burping constantly which provides temporary relief. I have taken a 9 week course of antibiotics to no avail, have had an endoscopy by an ent which showed nothing major, (though apparenlty i have a deviated septum sp???), the barium test showed no aspiration etc, but showed that i seem to be favouring my right side with a swallow, not sure what that means. My tonsils seem to be normal size again but the constriction remains, and since going off antibiotics it seems to have returned. Its a constant feeling of a lump in the throat just above the boney area connecting to the throat. Bad breath and phlem are also symptomns. A CT scan is scheduled soon for my throat area.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Ps i am 24, relatively healthy and was active until his kicked in.
