What Causes A Sharp Pain In My Throat?
I have a pain in my throat. It stated as very sharp, like a chicken bone getting lodged there, causing me to choke, gag, and cough. This was 7 weeks ago. Since then I've had pain in the throat, not a typical sore throat, but like getting punched there (or like swalling a large vitamin sideways and having it get stuck for awhile). I've also had a feeling like when you swallow water down your windpipe and have been clearing my throat incessantly during this time.

hi
all these symptoms you mentioned are indicating that you have some sort of discomfort while swallowing and you feel as if there is some thing stuck there.
all these symtoms are seen in patients with gerd ie acid reflux disease.
for this you need to start with antacids after taking a proper consultation from the specilaist doctor(ent) .
