Im a 24 yr old female and for the past 7 months i have had knot in my throat that feels like a adams apple i went to the doctor and they said it was nothing wrong what can it be and what caused it?

See below: It might be a reactive lymph node. These are nodes that enlarge in response to infections like coughs and colds. When the infection is gone, they return to normal.
