Nothing to worry just keep an eye on it and in case if it grows or become tender then ultrasound of it might be required.

Till then just maintain healthy lifestyle routine and keep yourself fit.

Detailed Answer:
Yes after going through the images provided by you the swelling seems quite obvious on your right side of the neck and doesn’t seems to be Bony in origin.

If there is no pain or no fever in the past couple of days then it’s probably not of infectious origin however it needs to be examined personally by a doctor so I would like to suggest you to kindly consult your family doctor in person.
