Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is an uncommon disorder that causes brief attacks of intense pain in the throat, the base of the tongue, the tonsils, or the ear area, due to irritation of the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Common symptoms: sharp stabbing pains, often triggered by swallowing, speaking, coughing, or yawning, that appear suddenly and usually last seconds.
When should you see a doctor? A throat pain like an electric shock, repetitive and with no apparent cause, deserves evaluation to distinguish it from other discomforts in the area.
Which specialist treats it? The pain specialist, together with pain medicine and anesthesiology, is the one who studies this type of neuralgia. If you experience these episodes, the wisest course is to describe them to a professional who can guide the case.
