My doc couldn't diagnose, but i have a pain in my neck which is hardly noticeable until i swallow. no lumps or swelling. can't feel it if i push at it?

ENT exam?: Ents can do exams that the rest of us don't, look deeper. Sometimes may need imaging studies like swallowing study or ct.

Neck Pain: If it hurts to swallow, this is likely esophageal muscle spasm, most often due to either a recent viral pharynges, bacterial pharyngitis, or acid reflux. How long this has been going on says a lot about the cause. If this persists, go see your doctor. Try liquid antacids, such as maalox first. Does the pain get better?
