Accurate Dx vital: Swallowing involves many muscles and nerves in the mouth, throat, and food pipe .Depending on the cause, these may include sharp or dull pain in the jaw, throat, chest, or food pipe. The pain may only affect one side of the throat and can change when a person breathes deeply.It is often possible to identify the cause of pain when swallowing by looking at the specific symptoms.
