Question
Pain at the Adam’s apple when bending over, but it goes away when I look up. There’s no visible redness or swelling on the outside. Drinking and eating are not affected, but my throat still hurts a bit when speaking. I’ve just taken some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, but the pain is still there when bending over. What could be the cause?
Answer
This type of pain is often attributed to tonsillitis. It is usually accompanied by a sensation of foreign body in the throat, throat heat, irritating cough, and coughing. The pathogens that cause tonsillitis inflammation are typically Streptococcus hemolyticus. Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for Streptococcus hemolyticus infections. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life. If necessary, I suggest consulting a hospital for examination and treatment after all.
