I have a small lump about a half inch to an inch above my Adams apple, slightly off center to the left. Ive recently experienced cold-like symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, a little bit of a sore throat. Just wondering if the lump/bump might be related to it - possibly a swollen gland?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged submandibular gland, enlarged lymph node or some thyroid swelling.  You should go for examination.  If your lump moves with swallowing then ITIS of thyroid gland.  If it doesn't move with swallowing then it can be lymph node or salivary gland.  Then you should go for ultrasound neck and fine needle aspiration cytology study accordingly.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
