Pain in throat when pressing voice box.

2018-04-25 09:06:28
I experience pain when I hold my voice box softly press. On right side I experience pain up to the ear. I have been experiencing this for last 6month. Doctor had done larynscopy 2month ago and told nothing is there but my pain doesn't heal fully. Some time it become less and some time more. Does holding and pressing voice box frequently create pain in nerve or damage it, I am doing this for checking if pain has gone or not. I have anxiety about this because I am light smoker(2-3/day) for 10years
