Lump in throat and painful to swallow?
You do have a muscle that you can release that can be helpful in getting past your problem. It is the one under your chin. Press both your thumbs up under your chin and near the front. Between them you should find the muscle that is very tight. Press your thumbs into it and hold them there. Relax now, take a deep breath and exhale and don't tense up any part of your body. When you feel the muscle start to release, about 30 seconds later, slowly lift your head up at the same rate of that release until your neck is fully extended. Then remove the pressure but hold your head there for one minute. I don't know if that will be your cure but it should give you some relief.
My throat hurts when i swallow?
~ hi ~ I'm sorry your throat hurts. Your throat may have just gotten dry from your nap (maybe you slept with your mouth and in the process caused your throat to dry), which I think is pretty common. As long as you're not running a fever, I don't think you have a virus or strep. Just try sipping water slowly and also gargling with warm salt water really helps (I know it sounds like it wouldn't). But, it really helps to relieve throat pain - it's an old-fashioned cure that always worked for me and now I have my own children do it when they have sore throats. Also, buying some throat lozenges might be beneficial as well. I find ones with Vitamin C to be great - they taste good and you're also getting your Vitamin C! I hope this helps and you get relief soon! =)
Why do I feel a stabbing throat pain when I swallow?
As some others have answered, this may be strep throat. What the other responders did not add is that strep throat is extremely contagious, so you want to find out very fast if that is what you have, before you give it to friends and relatives. My dad and my sister both used to get it, and I can remember that we actually boiled the silverware that each of them used for each meal to kill all of the germs that got on the fork or spoon that they put in their mouth. Please do not delay — go see a doctor NOW!
I have white stuff at the back of my throat, it hurts when I swallow, & breathe in through my mouth, & it feels like a small ball is stuck at the back of my throat. What could this be?
You obviously have inflammation there,but you haven't said how long you've had the problem. If only a few days,it's most likely a viral or bacterial tonsillitis and if it is that uncomfortable especially if you have difficulty swallowing or breathing. Then you need to see a doctor.It's possible you have tonsillar stones and often these cause no problems, but occasionally they present the way you are describing. They are calcified bacteria and dead cells and food debris that gets trapped in the deep clefts in the tonsils. They can be tiny like a grain of rice or become large. If the tissue around the stone gets infected you can get a very sore throat. Tonsillar stones don't appear suddenly, but the infection may. You need to see a doctor to get to the bottom of this
Why does the top of my throat hurt when I swallow?
this pain has being going on for almost a week. after i swallow, especially fluid, i get a sharp stabbing pain in the bottom of my throat, sometimes all the way down into the core of my body. i also get the pain when i take a very deep breath in or out. the pain is quite bad but not bad enough that i think it would be anything serious so i havent gone to the (expensive) doctors yet, though i thought the pain would be gone by now. i didn’t drink anything hot or remember distinctivly anything that could cause this. help!!!!note: the pain is much worse when i swallow any kind of fluid, and when i swallow the pain tends to be in my chest area rather than my throat
The right side of my throat hurts when i swallow?
I woke up yesterday morning and my throat was killing me but only on one side. It doesn't burn or feel scratchy like it does when I'm sick, but it is very painful to swallow. When I try to move my tongue to the right side of my mouth, it hurts even worse and the pain spreads up to my ear. I've also got a horrible headache that's been bothering me since yesterday afternoon. I looked in the back of my throat and couldn't see any built up mucus. It's red and looks a bit like raw hamburger meat. I woke up this morning and had a small fever, but it's gone away already. I'm just really concerned as to what this might be. Please help me.
