Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...\ My son is 10 years old. He is always trying to clear his throat by making a noise deep down from the neck region. He always feels like doing this because his neck area hurts. Could this be a thyroid condition?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Usually a person can not feel any problems with their thyroid. Even a goiter or an enlargement is not usually felt by the person, but seen or felt when touched by others. Sometimes a clearing noise is a simple motor tic. Many children develop tics - unrealized short muscular or vocal contractions - that will resolve with 1-3 months time. Other common tics are blinking or eye squeezing. Another reason for a new clearing noise is seasonal allergies, usually this is accompanied by a clear runny nose and itchy eyes.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
