<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I noticed yesterday that I have a lump near my voice box and when I touch that part of my throat, it hurts. It also hurts to talk, sing or swallow. I am also hurting down into my chest like my whole neck, throat and chest are bruised. I do not have a soar throat like one gets with Strep or a cold. What could this be?  <response>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some upper respiratory tract infection. You should take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxyclav. Chat Doctor. Warm salina water gargles are also useful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
