Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain On The Left Side Of My Neck

The last 3 or 4 weeks I have had pain on my left side of my neck near where the doc checks lymph nodes or where ya can feel tonsils, which I still have. It is not a throbbing pain and is not all the time but seems to happen when I am at rest sitting up. Tried a Bengay type product and pain pills but nothing seems to rid me of discomfort.
