Feels like there's something in my throat

[completelydifferent]

Hi! Sorry if this is long...

I'm a 22 year old female, and for about the last 5 or 6 days I've had a feeling in my throat (upper left, in the back, just behind the uvula is what it feels like). It's getting on my nerves. It feels like there's a piece of food there or that I half-swallowed a hair or something. It doesn't hurt at all, but it feels like if I'm not careful I'll inhale it (which isn't physically possible, but it's in that location). I have no fever, no swollen glands, and there's nothing visually amiss based on my inspection with a flashlight in front of the mirror. One thing I did notice last night when I was looking was a semi-circular white ring in the back of my throat around where I think the irritation is. I don't see it at all today. I've gargled, I've tried eating different foods, I've coughed, I've tried clearing my throat in different ways, but nothing is helping. I had mono back in high school, but it's not even close to that. I had my adenoids removed when I was about 8. But I feel fine. I haven't been sick at all in 4 years. It just feels like I should be able to cough up whatever is causing this, but nothing works.

Any ideas on what could be going on??

I also have the hair like feeling in the back of my throat. Ive tried gargling, eating toast, drinking soda, water, hot tea, i even swabbed at it with a child safe q-tip. I tried getting it out with my finger almost making myself sick. Everytime i keep my mouth still it continues to irritate me causing me to cough. I am 99.9% sure there really is a hair there and it's not some health issue but i cant get any sleep because of it.  Can anyone help?

thank you so much!
without your probabilities, i wouldn't have told my doctor about what i might have. he said i have a bad case of acid reflux. he told to avoid me certain foods, especially fatty and acidic foods. he also prescribed me something to treat it. and again, thank you ver much!
