What Causes Creaky Sound From The Esophagus While Suffering From Sore Throat?
I have had a sore throat, low grade fever, sinus drainage and cough for the last 2-3 days. I have been on antibiotics and OTC Ned s. No fever anymore, just drainage, and cough mostly. When I exhale I hear a creaky noise coming from my esophagus. Is there any reason to worry about this? No difficulty breathing at all.

Hello,
So most likely you are suffering from laryngopharyngitis which is causing this creaky sound. I will advise you to give rest to voice for some days by speaking very mildly and only when required. Drink warm water and gargle frequently. You will be alright in a couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
