You seem to be suffering from cervical lymphadenitis which usually occurs secondary to infections of throat, ear, teeth or scalp. Treatment depends on identifying source of infection. If swelling is persistent and chronic then fine needle aspiration cytology test may be required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
