Hi doctor,
I have right side throat pin pricking pain whenever I eat, burp, drinking tea coffee, hiccups. Sometimes the pain radiates to my ear also. I suggested 3 different ent doctors. They were telling no problem. But the pain doesn't go away.
1. Is there any serious issue?
2. What is the next step of testing(scan/endoscopy)?
Please advice.
