I always struggle to swallow foods or drinks even it's soft food or my saliva. I think there's sometin in my throat. What's my problem?

You may have a common condition in the esophagus in which it looks like an hour glass - where it becomes very narrow - and it can be fixed without surgery. To repair it they stick a "Balloon" into your throat and then inflate it and stretch the throat back into a normal diameter. This can be a permanent fix, sometimes it is not though. You need to see a G.I. doctor about this. You did not mention if you were having acid reflux, because that is a sign of another condition.

CANCER of the ESOPHAGUS: Symptoms:-
Difficulty in swallowing; a sense of fullness beneath the breastbone; repeated regurgitation of the undigested food.
MOUTH, PHARYNX, and LARYNX: symptoms:-
1. Hoarseness that lasts more than three to four weeks.
2. Ulcerations, whitish plaques, sores, lumps- anywhere on the lips, tongue, gums, inside the cheeks, throat,and so on- that fail to disappear within 2 or 3 weeks.
3. Repeated bleeding from the tongue, cheeks or throat of unexplained origin.
4. A lump in the neck, under the chin, or at any angle of the jaw.
The following tests should be conducted on the advice of the doctor.
Barium swallow
EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and biopsy
Chest MRI or thoracic CT (usually used for helping to determine the stage of the disease)
PET scan (sometimes useful for determining the stage of disease, and whether surgery is possible)
Evidence of occult (hidden) blood in stool

Are you bulimic or anorexic? Is your throat worn out from vomiting?
See a doctor. This is not a good place for real advice.

I asked that very question last week. My doctor told me it was a cramp in my neck. Do see a doctor tho, it could be something serious.
