Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult doctor and get done
1. Chest x ray to rule out lung pathology.
2. Ultrasound examination of neck to rule out lymphnode enlargement or other mass lesion.
Lung infection and lung malignancy (if you are smoker) are common cause for chest pain and neck pain and distention.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection and lung malignancy.
If both, chest x ray and ultrasound are normal then no need to worry much.
Painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs are beneficial in your case.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
