Anyone ever had the feeling of a lump in your throat accompanied by pain and a clicking when swallowing?
The past week I've had a powerful cough, and I woke up today with these symptoms. After a little sleuthing I found that it might be "due to thyroid-cartilage rubbing against anomalous asymmetrical laryngeal anatomy".
Now I'm hoping to get an opinion from anyone who's been through something similar. Could my terrible cough really have dislocated cartilage in my throat? The problem seems to be misdiagnosed very often and requires invasive surgery to fix.
Do you have pain and clicking in your jaw, not just when you swallow, but all the time, whenever you move it? Do you get frequent headaches and/or ringing in your ears? If so, you could have bruxism and TMJ because of that. But this is also a shot in the dark here.

When you have a really bad cold maybe with some temerature, it is normal that you lymphs swell.
Nothing to worry about, as long as they go back to normal in a moderate time.
I get it also sometimes.
When the sympoms of your cold get stronger and more intense then you need to go to the doctor.

Luckily I don't have those symptoms.
I know a professional would be the most helpful, but with the article stressing how often it's misdiagnosed I've been hesitant.

How long is a moderate time in your opinion? All my cold symptoms besides a minor cough and sore throat lingering have gone away, fortunately.

Moderate time can be up to two weeks depending how much stress you have during your daily life, and how fit you are in general.
Just watch it, as long as it gets better day by day there is not really much to worry about. If it gets drastically worse or if it is the only ache left after a couple of days see a doctor.

Go to a doctor right now and do a cancer screening.
The guy proved everything he said in this post too.

Very likely anxiety. I had it REAL bad during my recent stint of unemployment. Was very convinced I had cancer and was dying. I had some very severe symptoms as well that went away after I quelled the fear. Anxiety can absolutely fuck your shit up.
I would get tested just to be safe if you have health coverage.
Cancer

That was the saddest greentext I've read in a while, was very recent too.
Do you still have your tonsils?
