Sharp Pain On Top Of Left Side Of Head With Pain While Swallowing And Sensitive To Touch
Recently I've been having this sharp pain on top on my left side of my head. It only hurts when i swallow. Its a little sensative to the touch. I have no idea what it could be. I had the same about 2 weeks ago then it just stopped. Looking for any information on what could be wrong. Thanks

Hello
There can be many reasons for this including a mass in your food passage or an infection which is causing referred pain to the head. another reason can be a jaw joint disorder , which will cause pain while swallowing.
i would like you to meet your dentist for confirming this and treatment!
