ENT doctors dont see anything wrong. Ive been worrying about throat cancer, but they seem to find that ridiculous.
Could this be caused by acid reflux?

In one word, yes. Look up LPRD. I don't know about the swelling (have you gotten you thyroid levels checked?) but everything else is right in line.
Try starting an antacid treatment to see if it helps. If it does. consult your doc about this, possibly a gastroenterologist.
