i went to doctor today for the same thing and was told it is a cist at the top of the thyroid and if it gets large it will need to be removed.
i have pain in my throat but only when i swallow. it feels like a lump above my adam's apple. what could it be? . i also have difficulty getting food down because of the pain. i tried cold medicine and rub on my chest but nothing has helped. i could not get in to my doctor and he is out of town for a month. please help!
