What Causes Clicking Noise Inside The Throat?

The issue im having is I occasionally feel a snapping or popping in the upper right inside part of my throat. It does not hurt. It doesn t interfere with my swallowing. I don t have any soarness or lumps anywhere inside or outside my throat area. I m a 46 year old non smoker and have not used any type of oral tobacco in my life. Average weight and in my last blood test a month ago checking for fats/cholesterol and blood pressure check are all normal. Thoughts please and thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have clicking noise inside the throat. The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards condition known as GERD . The symptoms can also occur due to condition known as eustachian tube dysfunction ,which occur due to partial blockage of eustachian tube .

I would suggest you to :-

- Avoid eating spicy and heavy food specially at night .
- Eat at least one hour before going to bed .
- Take antacids like gelusil .
- Take walk for 15 minutest after every meal.

Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy of esophagus , ambulatory acid test and X-ray of digestive system to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out causes like strep throat or laryngitis .Doctor may prescribe proton pump inhibitos and H2 blockers. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
