I've been having some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?

While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.

I've been feeling this mild pain on the left side of my throat, but only when I yawn. It's weird because swallowing food doesn't hurt at all. This has been happening on and off for the past week. The pain seems to be on the outside rather than inside my throat, and there's no swelling that I can see. What could this be? Is there something I should be worried about?
Could be due to muscle strain or irritation. Since you do not experience pain while swallowing food and there is no swelling in your throat, it is less likely to be an infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help with the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
