What Causes Pain When Swallowing?
I am having pain when swallowing, ears hurt a little. Throat is not red. Feels like mucus is stuck at back of throat. When I lay down at night, I have woken up coughing/choking. Not bad, just enough to wake me, so I ve ended up sitting up in chair. Is this possibly allergies. I do have them, but have never had them bad or anything like this.

Hello,
Conditions like lump or mass in the food pipe or upper throat has to be ruled out. Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
