I have a cough. This morning, very suddenly, a very sharp pain appeared in my throat, on the right side of my adams apple. It s constantly sore, but stabs whenever I swallow. This afternoon, I had a feel and noticed that when I push gently on the right side of my adams apple, I can feel something (strands of something) shifting under my fingers. I m speaking and eating as normal, but I m concerned I may have some damage. Is this likely?
