Why Do I Hear A Click Sound In The Throat While Swallowing ?
Question: I hear a click sound in the throat when i swallow saliva almost all the times when the head is bend down, and some times when the head is up.But there is no pain. But when i keep my finger pressed against the XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and swallow i dont hear the sound.What could be the problem ?
Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
From the history given it does not seem that your symptoms are causing you any discomfort or any distress.
The click could be due to friction between the laryngeal cartilages forming the XXXXXXX XXXXXXX which present only in a specific position.
In case it is causing any form of pain or discomfort, you might benefit by seeing a ENT doctor who can do a laryngoscopy and detect the exact cause and provide specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any more queries, I will be available to answer them as well.
