What Causes Throbbing Pain In Right Front Neck When Pressing Carotid Artery, Turning Head, Swallowing?
Yesterday I woke with what I thought was a sore throat, but soon after realized it was actually a throbbing pain in my right front neck. It hurts more when I press on my carotid artery, turn my head, and swallow, and the pain goes up into my jaw. Thoughts?
