Question
I have pain at the Adam’s apple when I bend over, but it goes away when I straighten up. There is no visible redness or swelling on the outside, and drinking water or eating does not affect it. However, my throat still feels a bit sore when talking. I’ve taken some anti-inflammatory medication, but the pain at the Adam’s apple persists when I bend over. What could this be?
Answer
This type of pain is generally considered to be due to tonsillitis. It is usually accompanied by a sensation of something stuck in the throat, throat heat, irritating cough, and coughing. The pathogens that typically cause the inflammation of tonsillitis are hemolytic streptococci. Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for hemolytic streptococcal infections. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. If necessary, I suggest consulting a hospital for examination and treatment after.
