Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Neck After Possible Muscle Strain
yesterday was carrying a child and turned my head to the side to shield them from a sneeze and it felt like i ripped something by my adams apple. I assumed it was a strain of some sort and didnt think anything of it but it hurt to swallow for the rest of the night. today when i woke up i felt swollen in my neck area right at the adams apple and i cant swallow without a sharp pain as the saliva passed by my adams apple. no brusing, no red in throat, to problem breathing, talking seems a little deeper voice. its not sore throat type of pain but like a muscle strain. went to urgent care place and they looked at me like i was crazy. said i should get a CAT scan to rule out coronary artery damage! this happened a while back after i sneezed but never this much pain swallowing.
hi going by your details , In my opinion I think that you have probably strained your neck muscles on one side leading to all the symptoms.I suggest pain killers , gargles , and steam to heal the internal soft tissues. It might take 7-10 days for healing .
