I have terrible pain in the front middle to lower part of my neck. It s painful to swallow and when touching it. It felt something snap in that area earlier the evening. Its different from the past when I ve had strep. Not sure what I can do about the pain.

Hello,

We have to rule out possible causes like cervical spondylitis. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
