What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of The Neck?
I have pain in my neck o nmy right side that is especially painful when I swallow or push on that side of my neck. The pain radiates to my shoulder blade and right shoulder. It feels like I something is pushing on my lower throat. The back of my throat is not sore. I have had this for 2 days and at times the pain is unbearable. Any thoughts what this might be? I was wondering if a swollen lymph node was compressing a nerve?

Hello,
Most probably it will be due to conditions like cervical spondylitis.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists 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.
