Clicking sound in right side of throat

2024-02-06 03:33:48
I was down with rhinitis a month back and during coughing and might have injured my throat a bit however I made full recovery and recently whenever I swallow saliva specially when it's below 180° angle I have a clicking or extra gulping sound in my right side of throat when I swallow saliva. The ENT clinic diagnosed it as pharyngitis and my 5 day course is done.  The click or extra gulp sound is still present and is highest in the morning when I wake up. No sound when I swallow food or water. Sometimes there is white phelgm when I clear my throat. Along with the throat click there is slight clicking in the ear as well but very dull. Took second opinion on practo as well and they too diagnosed it as pharyngitis. The overall symptoms have improved however the clicking sound has not gone away yet, tonsils are alright and just crypts are there without stones. The throat gulps are not painful just annoying when I focus on them. I tried gulping tilting my head upwards and no sound produced.

This is Eustachian tube dysfunction. You should take steam and perform Valsalva exercise 7 times a day for 5 minutes each. Kindly see videos for the steps
