It would be great if you can mention the approximate size and the location where it is present
If it's around 1cm size, then nothing to worry about , can happen post infection, a course of antibiotics is often helpful.
But if more than 2cm or increasing in size with time, u need to get a USG neck and FNAC from the swelling done in that case
