I'm having trouble swallowing, soup is ok but just swallowing my saliva is hard, and it hurts slightly.

See a doctor: In your age most likely it is a spasm in the muscle of the food pipe causing this kind of problem. But it is serious enough you need to make sure that there is no anatomical obstruction, or stricture, or discover the reason to these symptoms. See a doctor.
