Hi all, I have the same thing, here is a remedy you can do to make you feel less pain, eat ice cream without cookies , just cold ice cream, if you have a muscle torn or pulled , fastest way to recover it by putting ice on it , however with the throat you can only eat it, it will really help reducing pain almost immediately . keep eating ice cream 3 to 4 time a day try not to sneeze or cough , also if it happened and you needed to sneeze, hold waist by your arms so you don't block your nose , it also help getting ridoff this habit , best of luck,
oh , it take a week to two weeks to heal completely , it's no infection.

Glad to have found this thread. My throat started hurting about 2 weeks ago after sneezing. I am not even sure if I held the sneeze in, but its possible I did. Since then I've had pain when swallowing, especially dry swallows. I also can only use a low voice because it hurts to raise my voice. I feel it must be a muscular thing because its not a constant pain, it usually feels ok in the morning but starts to hurt more throughout the day as I use my voice and swallow. I've also found that Tiger Balm seems to help. Sneezing is very painful. Its been about 2 weeks now and I'm hoping this will clear up on its own. Im still unsure if I should see a doc.

So I sneezed about a month ago. I was at the dinner table and had to sneeze so I held it in. It was instant pain. When I touched my neck afterwards I heard a click but not when I sneezed. I have been to the docs twice now and they just keep saying "I'm not sure it's bacterial". My throat looks ok but the pain feels farther down. They did do a throat swab but that's it. And nothing came of it. I think I'm gonna book an appointment with a different doctor on Monday. I am a smoker, and had strep throat a few months ago. So I'm wondering if this made me more susceptible to being injured by a sneeze. I'll keep you posted.

This just happened to me. Sneeze held itself up. Sharp pain and what feels like something sticking up through my neck into my throat. I look into my throat and on the right side behind the tonsil is like a curtain that appears to be protruding closer to my uvula. Far more so than the left side. I can swallow and talk, I don't seem to be affected in those areas but I have been feeling weird, light headed, kinda like my body knows something is wrong. The pain is higher than my Adams apple and it'll subside on it's own until I have to sneeze again or cough. I'm 29 with severe neck injuries in the past and sometimes my neck sounds like a row of fire crackers going off just turning my head. I thought maybe that did it, but it was surely a sneeze. I do not have chest pain, but I fear a tear because I have felt weaker, light headed and this can be cause by oxygen seeping into your muscles. Since as I type this it's been a week and I have had no serious complications I do not think I ruptured anything like the guy in the UK did but I guess you never know. Also for those of you that have been just pushing things back in till they click what exactly are you pushing on? Outside of neck, inside of throat?

The ENT ran a camera down my nose to look at the thyroid, and my throat has been hurt ever since. Is there reason to be concerned? It has been a week already.

Don’t hold your sneezes. There are lots of bad things that could happen, as I found out after I did it to myself today.
Tear in throat, broken blood vessel in eye, cracked rib, broken blood vessel in brain (aneurysm), among other things.
I was in a work truck with a partner and had my hands full. I’ll never do it again this hurts so bad. I’ve tried Aleve, cough drops, ice cream, hot rags, and anything else I could think of. Hurts to talk a lot, especially hurts to swallow.
I tried manipulating the larynx/Adam’s Apple in side to side and circular gentle movements with limited success. I did hear a little bit of clicking while doing that. It brought some relief, although not complete and permanent. Still hurts to swallow.
Good luck to everyone who has posted, and who will post in the future. I can’t believe nobody has warned about this. Ouch.

So I came across this thread and it was essentially the ONLY thing I could find online that resembled my symptoms. And boy did it! I sneezed weird, felt pain,later swallowed and heard the crack. The pain was brutal. But you guys offered no real answer. That one non-ENT Dr was the closest.Vocal rest and hot liquids for the next two days helped, but I went to my ENT today. Well, my new Dr friend put a scope up my nose to see down my throat and I have a hemorrhage of a vocal cord. Could’ve been the sneeze, the snap or both, but it was enough trauma to pop a blood vessel in my vocal fold. So now I’m in vocal rest (as much as humanly and professionally possible) and hydration for the next 4-6 weeks ish. Anyone who has any advice or tips on treatment/things to avoid while I try not to speak, that would be appreciated! Gotta figure out how to parent a 3 yr old without using my words, wish me luck.

I've been told I'm a Violent Sneezer, so I try holding it in sometimes and about 3 weeks ago I held in a big one and felt like I pulled a muscle in my throat. Now when I sneeze it hurts for a while. And when I swallow it hurts. Don't know what to do. ...

Hello, guest.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain when you sneeze and swallow. It's possible that you may have strained a muscle or irritated your throat when you held in a sneeze.
There are some things you can do to help alleviate your symptoms:
1. Avoid holding in your sneezes: While it may seem polite to hold in a sneeze, it can actually be harmful to your body. When you hold in a sneeze, the pressure from the sneeze can cause damage to your throat or ears.
2. Rest your throat: Try to avoid speaking loudly or shouting, and avoid eating or drinking anything that may irritate your throat, such as acidic or spicy foods.
3. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help soothe your throat and keep it hydrated.
4. Try over-the-counter pain relievers: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may help alleviate your pain.
I would recommend that you speak with your doctorabout your symptoms. He may suggest additional treatments, such as throat lozenges or prescription medications, to help alleviate your pain and discomfort.

Same happened to me. About two weeks ago after sneezing, full blown pain in neck on/below Adams apple. After few days it was almost ok but then it came back - started to hurt when eating/swallowing and something popped - pain came back :/
