Hi,
I must say that once please consult your dentist and check whether any intraoral infections of teeth tongue or tonsils are present. These infections can also cause pain in the neck. Also please do salivary test or scan. Have hot food and liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rohit S Menon, Dentist
