What Causes Pain In Throat While Swallowing After I Heard A Snap In My Head?
Hello Dr. Grief, I felt a snap or pop on the upper top right side of my head a few weeks ago. And now I have a stinging sensation in the same area and when I swallow I sometimes have a severe pain in the right side of my throat. Please tell me if this is serious. Thank you.

The snap may be the rubbing of the jaw joint leading to a condition called temporomandibular joint arthritis. Please meet your dentist for confirming this and further treatment. Thanks
