Swelling of the Adam's apple in the female neck

Women generally have smaller Adam's apples, while men generally have typical Adam's apples. If a lady finds swelling here, I personally think she should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, because there are thyroid cysts and subcutaneous tissue in the larynx. The cause of the swelling can be determined through ultrasound. If no abnormal lumps are found, you should be at ease with the swelling. There is no special need to be treated, and it does not affect your daily life and health. Then you can rest assured.

The swelling of the larynx in women's neck is accompanied by sore throat. The common clinical causes are mainly the following: 1. Acute pharyngitis. At this time, the inflammation can cause significant edema of the larynx and accompanied by sore throat. The patient's pain symptoms may be significantly aggravated when swallowing. At this time, the patient needs to take Yinhuang sublingual tablets and amoxicillin capsules orally for anti-infection treatment. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to rest, and after the inflammation in the throat is controlled, the swelling and pain symptoms of the part can be gradually alleviated.

2. When female patients have thyroid cysts accompanied by large lumps, it can cause symptoms of significant bronchial compression, and the patient may experience sore throat, difficulty breathing, and even shortness of breath. Patients can determine the size and range of the lump through thyroid color ultrasound examination, and it is recommended to remove the lump as soon as possible. If the lump is found to be accompanied by tumor cells during the operation, regional lymph node cleaning is required to completely eliminate the lump and prevent recurrence.

If pain occurs in the laryngeal area, it may be caused by thyroid periostitis. If the pain is not severe, you can apply local heat; if the pain is severe, you can take non-steroidal antiviral drugs orally for treatment. Pain in the laryngeal cavity superficial to the Adam's apple and hoarseness in the throat may be caused by acute laryngitis. Acute laryngitis often occurs secondary to acute respiratory tract infection or excessive use of the throat, resulting in inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa and needs to be treated with sensitive antibiotics plus hormone drugs.

Patients who are middle-aged or older need to eliminate the possibility of malignant tumors in the throat. Possibility of referred pain or reflected facial pain caused by neck or other localized diseases.
