I have had tenderness on the left side of my neck for approximately one week. I do not have any other symptoms such as numbness, tingling, trouble swallowing, breathing, or pain in my left shoulder or arm. I am a 73-year-old female and a former smoker who quit 20 years ago. Should I have this tenderness diagnosed, and if so, should I schedule an appointment with an ENT or another specialist?

There were no recent injuries, and the only change in her routine was having grape juice. Should I be concerned, and what should I do next?
