What causes Clicking or Popping in Throat when Swallowing?

Hello @letsolve,
It is good to hear from you again. I'm glad that you saw a specialist who ruled out a problem with the tonsil.
Unfortunately, on Connect, we cannot give medical advice. Therefore, the decision as to whether or not to have a tomography needs to be a decision of yours with the help of your parents and your doctor. When your doctor suggested a tomography, did you mention your previous CT scan? If not, it might be a good idea to call his office and discuss this with him or his nurse and mention your concern about having two scans in close proximity. The nurse or doctor might be able to put your mind at ease about having another scan or even suggest postponing it for a few months.
If you would like to learn more about Eagle's Syndrome, Connect does have a discussion group. Here is the link to that group, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/eagles-syndrome/. In this group, you will meet @abby4paige @ladylove1962, and @wuebbenjohn, who have recently posted about Eagle's Syndrome.
I urge you to give this some thought and discuss it with your parents and doctor. Can you do that?

I understand perfectly... and thanks for the indication of this other topic, I had also been observing it together with this one... and about that, we heard from the doctor what we already knew, but it was good to reinforce, we know that CT scans and exams that emit radiation are only indicated in cases that are really necessary, what the doctor said was not very different from that. well, we don't know exactly what to do, let's think about it; but honestly maybe I'll end up doing it, even if it's to rule out possibilities. any news I know about it, solutions, recommendations, I'll update here again. Thanks for answering me!
