Hi.
IT looks the swelling is from thyroid , which might have bled inside to cause the painful swallowing.
Yes, see the Doctor ASAP. and get minimum of ultrasonography to get a diagnosis. Many times a simple aspiration under USG guidance can be a treatment in itself.
You can visit ER, as you have got a problem .
