What Can Cause Pain And Burning Sensation In Neck,tightness In Throat And Pressure In Ears?

I ve been feeling a burning sensation on the right side of my neck, my throat feels tight and my right ear feels pressure. I have had a sonogram of my neck area done by my ENT doctor and he found nothing, just small lymph nodes that looked normal. I also just had an endoscopy done and they didn t see anything either. Except for reflux. What could the cause of my pain and pressure/burning be? It s really bothering and worrying me!

Hi,

The causes I can think about are as follows:
* Burning sensation are most suggestive of nerve problems like pinched nerve in the neck
* Trigeminal neuralgia
* Muscle spasm in right side of neck
* Cervical spondilitis

Ultrasound and endoscopy do not help in such diagnosis hence turned out to be normal. You need the following:
- Clinical examination of the neck muscles on both sides to compare
- Get started with anti-inflammatory medicine with painkiller properties like Ibuprofen
- Request for prescription based muscle relaxants
- Local Rubefacient liniment for warmth and muscle relaxation
- Neck support in a collar
All these will help to have proper relief. Also, get ear checked out to rule out any local problem.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
