Hello, It hurts to swallow in the front of my throat. My throat also hurts when I sneeze or cough. I threw up yesterday and whenever I stand up I feel really light headed.

Its hard to tell because when I get sinus infections my ears and throat always hurt. good luck...

If it keeps up, no more than 2 more wks, then go to an ENT & have a tympanogram test. Quick, painless & don't just let doc look in ears w/ scope. They put plug things in ears & push a button to air-tight these plugs. Machine shoots out a tape & says fluid or dry by the peak pattern. Could be allergy problem or (ET) eustachian tube inflammation. These openings are in the 'back' of throat & when you swallow they tug on middle-ear compartment. You have 3.

this only happens when I swallow. Very painful and hurt my inner ear too when this click happens. My tongue feels stressed out and like there is a foreign body sometimes pressing on my tongue way in the back. Drinking water has become a project and eating sometimes hurts too when i swallow.

I have had this constant sore throat and ear pain. I just stopped antibiotics two days ago - I took the full doctor recommended course for a bronchial infection. The day after my course of antibiotics stopped, I noticed the sore throat/ear pain. What is going on? The bronchial infection was from the flu in early January and Amoxicillan wouldn't help also had strep throat with it and had my tonsils out 3 years ago. I forgot to tell the doctor that Amoxicillan doesn't work on me.

for the last couple of months, the right side of my throat hurts when i swallow....it's not like a "sore throat", it's more like a pulled muscle--feels like it goes to the bottom of my ear. I haven't really had a cold or anything like that, just some conjestion and some drainage. The glands under my chin aren't really that sore or swollen. Any suggestions??

I have pain in my neck when I swallow, usually when I am just swallowing saliva (a little with food or beverage). The pain is not in my throat, but about half way between my throat and right ear, right under the jaw. There is no swelling. I think there is a problem with my salivary gland there. Is this something that will work it's way better, or do I need to see a doctor?

For a few weeks now I have this click in my throat when I swallow. Not when I am drinking water or eating, but just during normal swallowing. It doesn't click when my head is down or up, but it clicks when I am looking straight. If I put my fingers just above adams apple I can feel a click. Please help me to identify what it could be.

My gland is bigger on that side and it almost feels like some times there is a lump stuck on that side of my throat. It hurts more when I swallow. Sometimes my ear hurts as well. I had a strep test done it was negative. I thought maybe it could be acid reflux so I have been prescribed meds but my throat is no better. Been to the doc like 5 times. He sais if I have to come back again which I am that I will have to get a scope done.

I have the same problem when i swallow or yawn my ears pop everything is very loud and painful I have to plug my nose and take a deep breath to pop them back in place I have been to the ear dr. & everything is normal so he says so i figure if you yawn and it does it then maybe the dentist would know WRONG.

Well, Im still having pain, only now it has moved to the right side of my throat, and feels more like it is under my tongue, and of course only hurts when I swallow. This is going on 3 weeks now, I went to the local clinic who said, thrush! But no evidence of that, and basically come back if it hurts, I have made an appt with an ENT, but am scared to death. Your dr's dx of vocal cysts, sounds right on, I went to school with a guy who had lots of them and a real gravelly voice.

I woke up with the worst sore throat of my life. My throat was blood red and it hurt to talk, cough, breath and swallow. I've had strep throat many times and the pain was nothing like that. I gargled with warm salt water, took throat lozenges, etc. and nothing helped. Woke up the next morning and my sore throat was completely gone but could barely talk and my my jaw was sore and bruised. I still have severe larangitis four days later.

I had what felt like fever blisters way down in my throat and slight ear pain at times. I had a partial right hyperthyroid for an large nodule on the right side on June 20th. It turned out to be benign. The initial frozen section and the final path report. I am doing fine since surgery. Just feeling some tightness in the incision area. Dido what KelDC said.

I think I can address your ear and swallowing issues now. You most definitely have an ear infection, I don't care what the clinic told you. The one you have, otitis externa, will make that sticky smelly drainage AND will make your neck area hurt like the devil, which will make it very hard to swallow. You need to see an ear nose throat ENT doctor, he will fix it.

A few days ago I was eating chicken for dinner and as I swallowed a bite i felt a mild pain in my right side of my throat. It was very mild and most of the time I would forget about it. Well recently, once in a while when i swollow the faint pain comes back. And now i also have a faint pain in my right ear and my neck is a little stiff. What do you think it could be? I did have a sore on my ear which I picked on and may have infected before all this happened.

I woke up this morning with a really stiff neck and shoulders and a headache, and when I tried to swallow anything (including saliva), it felt like there was something trying to stop it, like my tonsils were blocking my throat or something, and it hurts a lot. Also, when I swallow, my ears start to ache and on and off today sounds have been muted. I took some Aleive, and my headache went away, but I'm still sore in my neck, upper back, and shoulders. My throat also hurts when I yawn.

She said that if it was something like that my lymph nodes would be swollen by now and they arn't. Only when I have a cold or sore throat. But they go down. My sinuses have issues so she wants to do surgery on them, biopsy lingual tonsils and remove regular tonsils. Has anyone experience my situation? Like others, I am a worry wart!!

At dinner I could not even eat my dinner it hurt so bad and I discovered I have bumps on the back of my tongue and when I swallow my ears hurt. The only thing I could eat was applesauce. I went to the doctor last week after missing 3 days of work. and he said it was not the flu, but I had a viral infection - now I have bumps, and can''t swallow. Any suggestions as to what is going on with my throat?

My throat hurts as well when i yawn...or try to stretch my throat...i feel some discomfort. Seems to be top of my throat if anything. no problems swallowing, no face pain or ear trouble. went to ENT for throat check. swab for strep came up negative. doc said to come back in a few weeks if discomfort persists. I have a fear of throat cancer from articles i've read but no symptoms of it. He took a look up my nose down to my throat with those tubes that have the camera...

It has gradually got better, but now when I swallow my right ear hurts. When I talk or yawn it hurts also. What do you recommend I do? Or what do you think may be wrong?

I am 46 years old female. I have been experiencing fear of swallowing food for the last 10 years now. I have talked to three different doctors and they are of no help. I decided to serf the net to see if I can find people with similar problem. Yes, there are a lot of people suffering like me. The problem is now affecting my daily life and my social life with my own families and friends. I hope there is someone to help me out. This year my goad is to find a cure for my problem at any cost.
