What Causes Lump On Adams Apple In An Infant?
My 1 yr olds adams apple seems to have a small lump on it.It seems hard. I am not sure if this is any concern. He saw the dr a few days ago and at that time i didn t see the lump. Today it just seemed red so I noticed it. Should I take him back immediately or wait to see if it goes away.

hi, new line welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.
Most common cause of lump at the area of Adam's Apple is thyroid nodules.
We have to look for other symptoms like feeling of nervousness, great loss, muscle weakness, tremors, sleep disturbances.
In my opinion, child should be examined by a pediatrician because it is very difficult to comment whether it's actually a thyroid nodule.
I hope this will help you.
Take care
