What Causes Sudden Pain And Swelling Around Adam S Apple?
This morning my boyfriend woke up with sudden pain and swelling around his Adam s apple. It is sore to the touch and when he bends his head/neck backwards. He does not have a sore throat it s more external. What could be the cause of this? He feels as if someone as punched him in the throat.

Hi ,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .
As per your clinical history it appears that you are having thyroid swelling due acute thyroditis .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
anti inflammatory analgesic Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination twice daily.
Here my suggestion is that you should consult your ENT doctor for thorough examination, necessary investigations and treatment.
Regards.
