What Is The Cure For Sore And Swollen Lump In Throat Which Is Increasing In Size?
I am a 63 year old female, over the past three days I have noticed I have a very sore and swollen lump in my throat near the adams apple area (under the skin on the outside of throat). It is increasing in size each day and restricting the forward and backward movement of my head/neck.

It can be due to infection,inflammation or cancer of the thyroid.
