55 Yr Old Female With Pain On Swallowing And Tenderness

55 yr old female with pain on swallowing and tenderness to touch, all at suprasternal notch and only on right side. Feels much like a sore throat, but much deeper than usual. Eating is a nightmare because swallowing food is extremely painful. I do have some chest tightness which feels very much like bronchitis. Mucinex helps temporarily with that, but nothing helps the throat. Is it normal to have pharyngitis that far down in the throat?
