Hi there...I can understand your concern. Swelling in the side of neck could be due to cervical lympadenitis, salivary gland inflammation, lipoma or neurofibroma. It will need detailed clinical examination and further investigations. Yes a history of throat and ear infection can lead to lymph node enlargement and cause swelling. Kindly consult a general surgeon for further evaluation.
