Q: Pain in head when swallowing
asked by: Jassy_Bry on August 6th, 2008

I was wondering if anyone had an experience of this - a couple of weeks ago I felt ill for about a week, I had a bit of a sore throat, some pain behind my ears and in my neck, a slight headache in my forehead that would cause pain down my nose but the main problem was pain in the side of my head in a specific area every time I swallowed.
I made a full recovery and felt fine for two - three weeks but now I have exactly the same symptoms again, they came back quite suddenly, the pain in the side of my head when swallowing started first and the rest has followed.
I wouldn't say I'm in a lot of pain or feel very unwell - it's just more annoying and uncomfortable, I don't enjoy going to the Doctors and avoid it unless I have to. The reason I feel concerned at the moment is that I have never had this problem with swallowing before and I've experienced it twice in almost as many weeks.
I would really like some advice, reassurance or to hear from anyone who has experienced the same sort of thing.
Thanks so much!
