I became aware of my throat-pains May/June 2011, soon 1 year ago. To the GP i told I had a pain in my throat and that after swallowing spit, I can her a "squeezing" sound, and are able to "push up" air-filled spit from my swallow. The GP claimed I had an "anxiety lump" in throat. I took on "her glasses" and played along with psychologist
appointments and so on. But the psychologist
gave me up - she claimed "You don't understand what therapy is!". In November/December 2011 the pains escalated to stinging/stabbing pain around my Adam's apple. I then, wrote down my "observations" on a paper for a new GP. In addition to the escalating "pain-level", I noted: swallowing spit hurts, swallowing mouthfulls of food/drink temporarely reduce the pain). I went through all kinds of examinations. Results: No asymmetry. No pathologies. Except, the gastroscopy: inflamed esophagus. I took the medicine Somac, but the pains remaind. (By the time I slept 1-3 hours at night and needed my mother's help to perform daily living tasks). In March 2012, I pulled myself away from the public health care and paid $ 1000 in private health care. A neurologist gave me muscle-relaxing medicament. IT WORKED. The pain reduced.
My hypothesis is that either my "Chricopharyngeal muscle" is over-strained or dysfunctioning. I've not been thoroughly examinated according to that, but I hope - by God - there is a treatment that either takes away the cause of the contraction or weakens the muscle.
I know I have to stop taking the muscle-relaxing medication, and then the pain comes back. Me neither can that pain (again)...
I had to fight against health care for months before they now - perhaps - start to believe in me: My pain is real. They are physical, and they are constant. They are not an expression of anxiety, as my GP told me over and over again.

I also have a very sore throat, it hurts to swallow, yawn, or eat anything. My whole lower jaw is now swollen and the pain is unbearable, I can't get more than 2hrs of sleep at night. My whole lower jaw is now swollen from eating halls and other throat numbing candies (which don't help that much). I was really sick 3 days ago and the only thing I can think of is that all of the vomiting I did burned my throat....I went to the clinic and the Dr. said I my throat looked fine, prescribed me some benzydamine mouth wash to gargle with, but the pain is just too intense that it doesn't seem to help that much :( I did buy some Aleve extra strength liquid gels (12hr) and that does seem to help with the pain a lot in conjunction with the gargle and halls.......I really hope this goes away soon :(

My right lymph node is very painful as well. If I attempt to swallow, a sharp stinging pain right where the swelling resides occurs. It is a very unbearable pain. I wish instead of people listing off their symptoms that someone would explain a quick remedy or atleast a sickness concerning with my symptoms. Feeling very tired, annoyed by the pain, and overall in agony.

Lymph Nodes can be drained, lay your head back and gently rub in a downward motion (very gentle) for about 15 minutes, take some asprin/aleve/tylenol or w/e pain killer you have and gargle with salt water. If this doesn't help, I would advise you to go to the clinic or family doctor.

I have the similar symptoms. Hurts extremely to swallow, even spit. Does not hurt much otherwise. I've had it for 5 days now. I am 68 so may not be a young person disease. I have found that taking three Boswellia every three hours relieves the pain somewhat as it is a reasonably effective anti inflammatory. Just went on antibiotics today. Will let you know if it helps. Good wishes to all of you. The swallowing pain really sucks!

all of you are probably fine it could be just a sore throat but if it gets worse and worse u could have deadly fever called scarlet fever and you should get that checked out but very low chances

Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Got antibiotics and it alleviated the symptoms within one day. Gone within three. Was so sore I would spit rather than swallow.

I woke up with this agonising pain in my throat, my glands feel like golf balls, my ears are extremely tender and i have bad headaches. I can hardly talk and my mouth is also salivating a lot and find myself spitting too. i've had a yoghurt this morning and found that that didn't take much swallowing and was also cold, which was better. Or jelly is probably good.
