Small nodes in the neck area are usually seen in case of infections, and they subside once the infection is resolved . Considering the duration of swelling I advise you to get an USG neck done to know the type and nature of swelling and also a doctor consultation to know the cause for the swelling and it's effective management

It looks like cervical Lymphadenopathy.
If it's small n not causing any any symptoms then nothing to worry about.
