Q: Son (18 Mo) Pulling / tugging At Throat For 3 Mo Now

As you can see in the subject line, he is tugging, pulling and poking his throat area near adam's apple. This has been going on for some time now. I first thought it was due to a cold, then due to habit from earlier. Now I realize that something in the throat is bothering him.

The Peditrician has looked at throat, ears, mouth and felt glands, neck from outside etc. he has asked that I use a topical cream, to see if it is a skin irritaion that can be eliminated. I do not think this is a skin (external) issue.

Anyone have any suggestions? Does this sound familiar at all?

Thanks in advance
