Hi,
35M here and about 3 weeks ago I hit my head against someone chest during sports, wasn't that strong of a bump (no concussion or other symptoms)...
However, from the exact moment I was hit, I felt something in my throat sand ever since there is pain when swallowing food/water. It was very painful in the first week. Now it has subsided a bit but is still there, I can feel it every time I swallow. Thinking this is a possible whiplash injury to the neck/throat since can't recall it was directly hit in the collision.
I went to an ENT who checked the throat with a laryngoscope but haven't seen anything unusual and think the throat pain is unrelated.
I'm ultra worried this is some permanent damage and not sure where else to turn into as thought ENT is the go-to specialist for neck/throat pain. Needless to say it causes me major anxiety and basically dysfunctional last few weeks. Very worried I got some unique rare problem in the throat they will never be able to properly diagnose or treat.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
