Best recommendation is not to touch your hyoid bone from the inside OR the outside. Try a warm compress ( a warm wet washcloth in a plastic bag will do ) and practice swallowing a teaspoon of soup or juice or milk at a time. Your own musculature should settle the hyoid where it should be if allowed to rest. Make sure you drink enough fluid that your urine is light yellow in color
