A member asked:

Hello i sneezed then had a sip of coffee then i felt a crack in my adam's apple now painful to swallow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle sprain: You have most likely strained one of the muscles that move your larynx (aka - adam's apple) while swallowing. This should resolve with time. If you notice problems breathing or you are unable to swallow, seek medical care urgently.
