Internal and external carotid artery

I have pain under the jaw near the hyoid bone. I was prescribed a nerve pain medicine. Since few days I have been pressing too hard on right carotid artery as the pain is just near it. Can pressing or rubbing carotid artery too hard, several times in few days lead to some serious issues? Like tearing of artery or anything?

I can find my pulse in my neck just fine on both sides. However, when I move my fingers up the "tube" after I find my pulse my right tube feels larger in my neck then my left. Is this just my carotid artery that I'm feeling and is it just a little larger than the left side? Is it a swollen lymph node? Is it a tumor? I've had no symptoms or anything
