Suggest Treatment For Painful Swallowing

Earlier today my husband held in a sneeze, after he did it he instantly complained about his throat hurting. Its been a few hours now, and he went to eat something, he said he heard a "crack" and couldn't swallow. He is breathing, and talking fine, but says it hurts to swallow salivia. Is this serious?
