Soft, movable, pea sized lump under the skin of my throat?

Last week I found a pea sized, soft, movable lump under the skin of my neck (near the front center of my throat and its located just under the start of my jaw [at the very top of my throat]). A day or so after finding the lump, I ate dinner and started to feel like something was stuck in my throat. I believe originally the sensation was towards the bottom of my throat, now every now and then (generally after I eat) I get the feeling and it appears to be higher up now (not sure about this). The sensation appears to be worse when I start thinking about it. Also when I swallow food/drinks I generally don't feel anything in there and I never have pain from it. However, it's worst is when I swallow saliva. I'm 16, male and can feel another similar lump in the back of my neck near my head. However, this doesn't appear to be growing at all and is soft, movable and has no pain at all. Cheers, Cooper!

Hello~

I think some of this could be stress related, since you are concerned about it, you notice every little thing now that pertains to it. If it continues to bother you, I suggest seeing your doctor just to put your mind at ease, it is probably nothing serious, but, the peace of mind you will get will be priceless.
