ENT for Clicking: The best advise is the see an ENT specialist (ear nose and throat). This is a surgeon that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the ear nose and throat. More specificially i would recommend someone who deals mostly with diseases of the throat. He may ask for specific tests such as an MRI and perhaps an esophogram.
