Patient's question:
When I look down, there's pain at the Adam's apple. It's fine when I look up. There's no visible redness or swelling externally. Drinking and eating don't affect it either. It just feels a bit sore in the throat when I speak. I just took some anti-inflammatory medication. It still hurts when I look down. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The pain in this area is considered to be tonsillitis. It is often accompanied by a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, a feeling of heat in the throat, irritative coughing, and coughing. The pathogens that cause tonsillitis inflammation are usually Streptococcus pyogenes. Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for Streptococcus pyogenes infections. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest in daily life. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. When necessary, I still suggest going to the hospital for examination and treatment.
