Hello, I have had the EXACT same symptoms for the past 8 months, I have had ultra sounds showing reactive lymph nodes, but the doctors keep telling me that's normal, it doesn't feel normal though, I do also smoke and sometimes at night I would feel the air pocket on my right side expand when I would inhale, I would instantly push the side of my throat and it would slowly go down, I have held my sneezes in for my entire life too, didn't know that everyone else let them go , didn't even know you could until now lol. Everytime I see a doctor they kinda shrug it off so I am not sure what to make of it, have you been diagnosed?
I had this same thing happen. It came on gradually. I would occasionally sneeze and when I did I noticed the pain in my throat. Then allergy season rolled around, and suddenly it felt like I had a swollen or pulled muscle in my throat, along with it being raw. Now, the pulled muscle feeling is gone and it's just a little sore. I used to smoke electronic cigarettes,and was paranoid it was something from that. After googling some, it was kind of related to post-nasal-drip, so I broke apart a clove of garlic and dipped it in sabra red pepper hummus and ate it while watching tv. I am hoping it's just some kind of annoying viral infection that can be easily defeated. The fact someone says they had bad breath leads me to believe so. I also have heard of a buildup of bits of food getting stuck in the throat and becoming toxic. The garlic seems to have helped, but I'll keep you all posted about the outcome. So far I Have had this pain for about a week and ate the garlic today. The garlic will not, however, help with the bad breath issue.
Update: I woke up with a horrible headache and my stomach was burning from all the garlic. I vomited, and I have to admit that my throat feels much better after going through that not so pleasant experience. So if you all are open to try things to fix it, here's what seems to be working for me:
Change your daily routine of what you eat and drink. - I did this because it's possible it was also an allergic reaction to something I was eating and drinking every day.
Buy some Sabra hummus, or some other hummus, and eat and entire head of garlic. ( I wrote clove in my previous post, but I meant head of garlic).
You may wake up feeling really bad the next morning, but once you get through that you might feel alot better. I really did. I am guessing it might be some kind of virus because of the horrible headache and weird feeling I had. I know sometimes when viruses are being attacked you can get a queasy feeling and headache.
Anyways, hope it works for some people.

I have had the same I have had camera down twice it is a damaged vocal box
What was the fix for you vocal box?
Same happened to me, pain on the right side, hurts to swallow, so frustrating
It sounds like he mightve popped a capilary or a vein. This has happened to me before.
I'm no doctor, but it could possibly be mono.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. Pain in the neck and hard to swallow saliva. The pain is going away but now im losing my voice. What the hell lol.
I had the same problem 3 years back. The crackling sound from my neck didn't allow me to swallow. General practitioner gave me 3 days of strong antibiotic but that was total waste of time. My pain continued and I contacted an ENT, who identified it immediately and gave an injection straight into my neck. I was cured within 20 minutes. I guess it was some kind of pain reliever (possibly a cortisone injection). I hope it helps.
I had this happen from holding in a sneeze. It's been a few weeks now and I still have a dull soreness still. I have no problem eating, drinking, or sneezing ( Releasing my sneezes now ). But I still have the dull pain in my throat. I teach classes so I'm talking many hours a day. Some parts of my courses require me to speak loudly because of the surrounding noise. I thought it would have cleared up by now. It seems there are a variety of things that could be happening. At first I had the clicking feeling like something was broke, then the soar throat feeling, now it's like just in the back of my throat a dull soreness. I move my head in all directions and feel no change. Touching my Adam's apple I don't feel pain in the front. I guess a throat doctor and camera in the throat is my only way to find out if it does not go away. Anyone's thoughts?
hi , can you share the doctor's name? maybe I can email him or something?
otherwise doctors look at you if you are making it up
I've recently experienced the same thing most have described on here, but had an idea what it was right away. In SCUBA diving, a common injury that can occur from holding your breath is Pulmonary OverInflation Syndrome(POIS). A dive instructor actually said, "Don't ever hold a sneeze in." He basically gave himself the same injury by holding in a sneeze. In cases of POIS, serious injuries may require immediate surgery, but in a lot of cases, they just can't dive until it heals itself up. Just my 2 cents.
I wasn't going to leave an answer on this site, but it seems that everyone came here while searching for the same answer's as myself.
Everything you have all stated, i also am actually currently suffering from. And after two trips to both the GP and A&E, their responses were very similar: "They can't see any serious infection, other than a little reddening." "My glands aren't raised", and that, "it might be muscular."
After these unhelpful diagnoses, i decided to conduct my own research on the specific area of my injury. The pain most of us are experiencing of late, seems to be based about the: Omohyoideus, muscle within the neck; and more than likely (just like most muscles) there will be a 6 - 8 week recovery window, before your back to normal. I'm currently on 15mg of Co-codamol; highlighting just how painful this injury actually is. I have also read on this forum, of the scepticism of how painful this injury actually is. I bench 200kg, pull 240kg and jog 10 miles once a week; and this affliction has pretty much put me on the broken-toy shelf (unless the co-codamol, masks the pain completely.) for a month or so.
So in all seriousness guys, take your time recovering from this injury, and hopefully you'll be having a better New Year.
All the Best!

This just happened to me, but the thing is, I couldn't help but hold in my sneeze. I never hold in my sneezes, but for some reason, it just happened on instinct.....
