Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There are two problems to deal. First I suggest you to consult your primary doctor and to discus with him possibility of imaging study of your cervical column. As initial imaging you can have plain radiographs of cervical column. If there is any suspicion of any damage you can discus the possibility of a MRI cervical scan. Second thing to do is to consult an ENT Doctor in order to check up any throat disease that may cause your symptoms. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
