text: my jaws and upper left of my neck r hurting me so much? and i also feel a pain whenever swallow my own saliva or anything else..before i could go to a dr., i want to know is it dental or throat or what??? please help..thank you. you might have something going on with your throat. go to the doctor and he might recommend you to an ent (ear, nose and throat specialist). a year ago i had really bad tonsillitis. the pain was in my jaw and neck and even in my ears! try going to your doctor. it might be nothing, but it might be something you can get rid of too.
