What causes a popping feeling in the throat when you swollow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be Eustachian : tube orifices opening & closing due to pressure changes. Or the epiglottis flapping over your trachea to protect your airway. Need in-person exam to get a visual, possible ENT scope. May even need a swallowing study if it is causing difficulty swallowing.
