every so often sometimes when I swallow...sometimes when i turn my neck a certain way, I get a severe pain in left side of neck in front by trachea..if i press on that side i can feel something pop back into place and the pain immediately goes away...any idea what this could be?
Pain while swallowing may be due to pharyngitis or glossitis or infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and cool drinks. If pain is there means you may use simple paracetamol thrice a day. If no improvement please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and do indirect laryngoscopy then treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
