A member asked:
I have discomfort in my ear and a sense of having something on my throat that i can't swallow. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ENT: The nerves that go to the throat also send branches to the ear. Therefore things in the throat can manifest also with ear symptoms. It may as simple as a small ulcer on the throat or vocal cord but throat cancers can have ear pain as the only symptom. You need to have this checked within the next two weeks.
