Inflammatory or obstructive causes can be there.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You are having pain in the lower neck on swallowing the causes of which can be:
Inflammatory which can be inflammation or ulceration or mucosal breaks in the lining of lower pharynx or inlet of the food pipe. There can be inflammation or ulceration at the base of tongue or
epiglottis. A short duration pain can be because of non specific inflammation and should go in few days with antacids.
Obstructive which can because of cervical spurs which you have described in your findings, or masses which can have a variety of diagnosis but should not be guessed without an examination of the lower throat or
esophagus.
As you have thyroid nodules, a degenerative change in these nodules can also lead to such a pain although this is a rare possibility.
Thyroiditis possibility should also be kept in mind.
All these things should be discussed with your doctors and if after a course of
proton pump inhibitors, the pain does not go, an ENT examination including
endoscopy should be done.
Feel free to ask another query.
Regards
