Pain on swallowing usually felt when there is infection of the throat and due to inflammation there is pain when swallowed. Lymph nodes draining the area also swell up and cause the pain that you are referring to neck pain..

You need to consult an Otorhinolaryngologist for thorough evaluation and proper treatment according to the cause.
