Accepted Answer

Muscle strain: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, but the force of a sneeze can strain muscles anywhere from the face down to the diaphram. RARELY, the muscles can be (slightly) ripped. GENERALLY, these things get better like any other muscle strain
Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Otolarnyngologist: The sound may be related to motions of the larynx and other throat structures during swallowing. The white spots may be tonsillar stones which are benign collections of old food particles. If you have continuing concerns, an Otolaryngologist is best qualified to examine and advise you.

Question 7

i'm not sure if it's an allergic reaction like swelling or if it's just a muscle thing but my throat has been bothering me since last week. it feels tight or like there's a lump right behind / around my adams apple at the bottom of my throat.

Accepted Answer

Location: Given location, an exam will be needed, ideally with your doc. If felt needed, imaging and/or a referral to an ENT specialist will be made. Given proximity to trachea and larynx, time will be of essence in getting a diagnosis and have it addressed properly.

Lymph node: It may be a lymph node. Or a normal anatomical structure like the hyoid bone. Best solution is to see an ENT surgeon to make sure it's ok.

Call physician: Anytime a lump develops, it is important to have it checked out to determine what it is and if any treatment is needed. This could be a thyroid problem.

Question 10

what is causing a mild discomfort feeling around my adams apple with no pain when i swallow food or water?

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal: There are many muscles that move the larynx or voice box when you swallow. Therefore, it is not uncommon that you might have some discomfort or a strain of those muscles which you notice when you swallow. Generally, heat, massage, and anti-inflammatory Rx is helpful. See your doctor if it persists or worsens.
