yes, especially when I try to swallow pills; even food sometimes. I don't know what it could be...

It's probably tonsillolith also known as tonsil stones.

A Tonsillolith (also called tonsil stone or calculi of the tonsil) is a piece (or more commonly, a cluster) of calcium which forms in the rear of the mouth, in the crevasses (called "crypts") of the palatine tonsils (which are what most people commonly refer to as simply tonsils).

Tonsil stones, it is theorized, are the result of a combination of any of the following:

food particles
dead white blood cells (a.k.a. "leukocytes")
oral bacteria, possibly from mouth breathing
overactive salivary glands
They are described as having a pungent odor, its bad-breath odor concentrated into a small solid object. Visually, they may resemble sesame seeds in color and texture; they are of similar constitution and are equally friable, especially when clustered.

Protruding tonsilloliths have the feel of a foreign object, lodged between the outside of wisdom teeth and the temporomandibular joint region of the fleshed jaw. They may be an especially uncomfortable nuisance, but are not often harmful.

Like a piece of food or something? More than likely they're tonsiliths. It's bacteria and crap that get's stuck in your throat and tonsils.

Your throat is probably dry. Drink something.
