Feel like something stuck in throat
Hi,
I have lower jaw pain under ear, neck and ear. Went to ENT and dentist. No ear infection. Dentist said it might be tmjd.
I have swelling in the lower jaw under ear, side of the neck, sore pain inside the ear,some lump on side of the neck and lower jaw. It hurts to open the jaw wider. I hear some clicking or snapping sound in the jaw whenever I open the mouth.
For last one week, I feel like something stuck in the throat. No throat Infection or redness. I am not able to swallow properly and it's difficult to swallow. I fee like some object present in throat all the time.is it a symptom of tmjd? Or it's something else?

The clicking sound you get in opening jaw and pain on opening jaw may be due to TMJoint pathology and the throat pain can be due to lots of reasons like acid reflux or even pharyngitis. Will require specific investigations and you might benefit from a consultation.

Hi! The symptoms you’re feeling in throat is due to acid reflux that is unrelated to TMJ dysfunction. Kindly consult a ENT specialist for your throat problems for throat examination & endoscopy if required. TMJ dysfunction if not relieved with initial medication from dentist then consult maxillofacial surgeon (specialist of jaw).
Next Steps
Online consultation with ENT & Oral maxillofacial surgeon
Health Tips
Avoid wide opening of mouth & take soft diet
