What Does A Lump Above The Laryngeal Prominence Indicate?

My son just noticed a small cyst/node above his Adam’s apple. Went to an urgent care type place and doctor told him to see an ENT guy and to not wait till spring break. Asked him lots of questions about cancer. He recently had the flu. No other symptoms and it doesn’t hurt. Any ideas?

Hello,

Narrated lump indicates inflammatory reaction secondary to upper respiratory tract infection. Treating the basic pathology reverts it back to normal, so continue medicines as per the advice of your physician and do not panic.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
