Could Swelling And Soreness In Front Of Hyoid Bone Be Due To Prolonged Coughing?

I have had a bad cold for two weeks with much deep, prolonged coughing. I noticed last night some slight swelling and soreness in front of the hyoid bone of my neck. I am not running a fever. I do have a slight sore throat. I swallow food and drink easily. I suspect that the slight swelling and soreness of the area is connected to the coughing. What are your thoughts?
