Hello,
I am presuming you have "throat pain" with swallowing problem and not "neck pain".
Throat pain with difficulty in swallowing may be indicative of an acute throat infection which can be tonsillitis or pharyngitis or a combination of both.
It may be due to other causes but the above ones are usually common.
If you have been experiencing these issues over a long period of time then a proper throat evaluation is necessary . A swab culture of throat may be required for further treatment.
Also , you should get a COVID screening done if there is an index of suspicion.
Next Steps
Covid screening
a consultation
