I've been feeling some pain just below my Adam's apple when I eat or drink lately. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to worry about what it could be. Is there a chance this might be some kind of cancer, or could it be something else?

My PNS CT scan shows mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses, right sphenoid, both ethmoid sinuses, and a little in the left frontal sinus. I've had headaches for the past two months do I need surgery for this?
