Hello. I'm 23 year old male and I would like to discuss some problems with people who maybe know more about this.
About a week ago I started to suffer from some strange symptoms and some help with it would be more then appreciated.
You see, I started to suffer from swallowing difficulties because it seams like I have some lump on my throat.
I don’t know what could cause this. Beside this I also started to notice that my ears were getting very red and hot. I really doubt that this could be something dangerous but anyway, I would like to hear some opinions about this.
Thanks!

Hello. I believe I know what seams to be a problem with you. You maybe suffer from one disorder called Cricopharyngeal spasm.
This syndrome results from a spasm in the cricopharyngeus muscle.
When you are anxious, depressed or under stress, the small muscular opening in the lower part of your throat begins to tense.
It is a self limiting disorder that will resolve on its own.
It could also be some simple inflammation of the throat which could also explain your red ears.
Read ears symptom in most cases is present when patient have increased body temperature. If inflammation of the throat is suspected, a strong anti-inflammatory such as prednisone may be tried for a week or two.
