What Could Cause Hard Lump In Throat?

About two weeks ago my neck was feeling sore. I was rubbing it and it feels as though I have two adam's apples. There is a hard lump about two to three inches below my adam's apple. It hurts to touch and feels like I have a sore throat. Any ideas? Should I consult my family doctor?



Thanks for your repsonce,

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Feeling sore in throat is just a throat infection but lump can be either lymph node or thyroid nodule which is not related to sore throat. See a surgeon for confirmation. You may need to do biopsy of lump in case of doubt.
