Pain in the front of the neck is caused by tonsillitis, a pain in the throat and a foreign body sensation. If the condition worsens, an irritating cough may occur and the tonsils may become enlarged when the patient opens his mouth. Patients with more than two tonsillar attacks per year can have their tonsils surgically removed. In addition to tonsillitis causing pain in the front of the patient’s neck, chronic pharyngitis also causes pain in the patient’s neck, with nausea when brushing teeth, vomiting, dry cough, drink water with fat sea to relieve the symptoms.
