Hi, about 3 - 4 weeks back I sneezed and had had a lot of pain in my neck, moments after I realised I had a big, red lump near to the centre of my neck near my oesophagus. It is still red and I have not itched or scratched it. My doctor thinks that iv moved my voice box out of place.Can you please help me? kind regards Charlotte
Hi. This is but a known although a rare complication of a forceful sneezing. The best way to get a proper diagnosis is by an ENT Endoscopy and an MRI. This is very important as the area is also very important. Most of the time the treatment is conservative, that is by medicines, rest. Very occasionally one may have to intervene surgically if the complications are anticipated or are present. Please get proper investigations done to get the proper management. Wish you an early and uneventful recovery.
