What Does A Lump Below Adams Apple Indicate?
My 3 years old son has what feels like a cartligeous lump to the left and slightly below where his Adams apple would be. It doesn't appear to bother him, no changes to his oral intake, sleep or anything else. I only noticed today. Is it possible to get any herniation to cartilage in that area? It is relatively pointy in shape. It doesn't move if he pokes his tongue out or in fact doesn't move at all.
