So, a doctor pulled on my larynx about a month ago, and ever since, I've been a bit worried if that caused any kind of trauma. I didn't notice any physical symptoms right after, but a few days later, I started feeling some discomfort inside my neck. I'm also wondering if this clicking sensation I've been feeling was always there or if I'm just more aware of it now. When I turn my head to the right or left, there's this silent clicking on the right side of my larynx. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

It is possible that the manipulation of your larynx by the doctor could have caused some trauma or irritation. The clicking sensation you are feeling when turning your head could be related to this. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help reduce any inflammation and discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on your neck to help relax the muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
