Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
18 year old daughter has had painful episodes of a spasm like pain on her neck and feels like the inside of her throat. Pain shoots in her ear and up to her head. Briefly has a hard time swallowing. Has happened about 3 times over the last few weeks. She is currently home from college. Should we take her to urgent care?
