My husband was eating deer meat for supper and swallowed wrong. He started belching then he threw up. Since then he has been hurting like 3inches below where his collar bone meets. He keeps belching and spitting up phleme. Is this something I need to take him to the ERfor?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in collar bone . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fracture or injury , acromio-clavicular ligament tear or wrong movement of arm or shoulder . I would suggest you to take proper rest and do not move arm or shoulder much . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory or recommend physical therapy . Physical therapy will help alot . Doctor may also immobilize your joint for some days . Doctor may also refer you to dentist for TMJ problem , because such pain can also occur due to TMJ problem . Doctor may five night guard along with muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory . For now apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
