What Causes Soreness On The Right Side Of The Neck?
I have a soreness on the right side of my neck. it began yesterday very mild and continued today to be a little worse. within the last 30 minutes the pain has moved to my jaw and almost feels like a tooth ache and it throbs a tad and hurts when I swallow. I have had cold-like symptoms (stuffy nose, sneezing) along with it. I had a tiny lump about the size of a pea right above my collar bone on right side also. it appeared about 3 weeks ago. not sure if it is related.

Hi,
It can be acute pharyngitis or Ludwig angina.
Your oral examination and posterior pharynx examination needed for further work up.
Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication is a mode of treatment.
The swelling mentioned could be an enlarged node as a reactive process.
You need to consult a nearby physician for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
