Hello. I have a swollen left palatopharyngeal arch, difficulty swallowing, and some ear fullness. When I swallow, there is a crack/pop in the ear. I intend to see an ENT specialist but would like to know any suggested causes/conditions. Thank you.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, swelling in palatopharyngeal arch , and difficulty in swallowing, and ear fullness can be due to some reasons like throat infection, Temporomandibular disorder., or Periodontal Abscess .
Consult dentist and go for oral examination and Tmj examination for clicking sound .
Hope this will help you.
