Severe neck pain, muscle spasms , jaw pain, difficulty swallowing

Hello everyone, please I think I have similar issue but I'm an adult.
I have severe muscle spasm on the left side of my neck and it hurts so bad
I went to the hospital, my urine and blood was taken for series of test. Everything was fine except my ESR being 30. I did scan on my breast cause I also have a small almost invisible swole on the right side of my breast like that of a mosquito bite, and it's sometime slightly painful so I ran a scan and nothing was found.
I had x-ray on my neck and it showed severe muscle spasm.
I was given co-codamol, the pain stopped for some time and came back.
I only feel relaxed when I press with hot water or I massage.
And it's been over 2months, the pain hasn't stopped. It's still on the left side of my neck and slightly swollen. Please what can I do?

The slight swelling is worrisome. Any fever at all?
Everything else sounds like a cervical spine issue. They need to do an MRI of your cervical spine as this will show pinched or irritated nerves, or any lymph node issues I believe.
Anytime you have difficulty swallowing, pain in the neck and shoulders my thought process goes to either cervical spine issue OR throat infection/esophageal cancer. Not to alarm you.
How old are you?

Did you get an ultrasound or MRI of your neck/cervical spine? If you had X-ray, it shows bones but not soft tissues.
It would be good to have your thyroid, lymph nodes and cervical spine checked.
