Swollen or enlarged adams apple?

[cjcouple]

My 17yo was shooting baskets and I realized his adams apple looked larger than usual (I think). A kid a achool commented on it to, so it wasn't just me.

Should I be concerned? I googled and shouldn't have.

I’d probably make a doctor appt, just to have a once over for it, and peace of mind.

Any update cjcouple? I didn’t have any advice on this, but I’ve been thinking of you and wondering if you guys sorted out what’s going on…

I was just coming in to post. He had his appt at 4 today and the swelling was way down. They want to keep an eye on it and if it swells again (or if he still feels it when he swallow into next week) to call and they will order labs to check thyroid but he didnt have any other signs recently. They are leaning towards allergies or a short term virus.

I was thinking it might be related to swollen neck glands due to a lingering virus but didn’t feel qualified to guess - glad it seems to have improved, though!
