Yesterday I noticed that my Adam’s apple is sore and it hurts when I touch it. This has never happened to me in my life. Some of the other muscles around the throat also feel sore. The inside of the throat does not feel sore; there is no pain when I swallow. It’s all in the muscles.
A few days ago I was moving some very heavy stuff and I was straining quite a bit. Additionally, the day after that, I had terrible allergies and was sneezing a lot, blowing my nose very forcefully, etc. And I feel that may have also contributed to the muscle pain.
Have I “pulled” the muscles in my throat? What can I do to make them heal faster?
