What Causes Pain In Neck And Laryngeal Prominence?

My neck and Adams apple hurts to touch. I did have pain when swallowing but after 2 days of ibuprofen and allying ice it helps to relieve it, but not that much. A doctor told me it had trauma from sinus drainage and coughing plus I recently had strep throat, I am almost 60 so I am worried about something more serious. What do you think?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of PAINFUL neck nodule, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of a colloid cyst of the thyroid or some other cysts like branchial cyst or lymphatic cysts or even palpation thyroiditis!
     
3.     The last possibility is of some ulcer or infection in the innerside of your throat

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and CT scan of the region for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
