HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the infective wound behind he neck then it has to be treated with antibiotic and puss need to be drained surgically, steroid is not indicative unless it is being indicated on clinical examination, for the pain below the breast could be due to muscular spasm and it can be given try with Tab Ibuprofen 200 mg as per needed, some time it can be due to hyperacidity and it can be managed with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
