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?
