Small swelling on neck

Question

Asked for Male, 19 Years

I got a small swelling on my neck with pain in it. I went to the doctor and he said it's most probably an insect bite and give me a medicine and ointment for 5 days. The pain went and somehow the swelling has also reduced but still small swelling is there and it's not going. Kindly suggest what it is and what to do. I have attached photos. The first one is of now and second one is of 10 days back
