    After having a meal, if you feel that there is a lump in the throat then it might be because of reflux laryngopharyngitis. It may be considered as a type of acid reflux, but it deals with irritation and swelling of vocal tissues. Is this accompanied with a feeling of dry mouth? If so, then a few tests might be needed to ascertain the cause. Perhaps eosinophil count, or sialometry and sialography tests should be performed. Consult a gastroenterologist.
