What Can Cause Small Lump Above Adam's Apple In Throat?
I have a small lump about a half inch to an inch above my Adam's apple, slightly off center to the left. I've recently experienced cold-like symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, a little bit of a sore throat. Just wondering if the lump/bump might be related to it - possibly a swollen gland?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged submandibular gland, enlarged lymphnode or some thyroid swelling. You should go for examination. If your lump moves with swallowing then itvis of thyroid gland. If it doesn't move with swallowing then it can be lymphnode or salivary gland. Then you should go for ultrasound neck and fine needle aspiration cytology study accordingly. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
