A member asked:

My 10 year old son has suddenly developed a very painful lump just above his adams apple. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infected cyst: It sounds like an infected thyroglossal duct cyst. He needs to see his pediatrician who would confirm it and refer him to an ear nose and throat specialist for treatment.
