Hi Priya ! It is natural to be concerned about any swelling around the neck area. Swelling of the lymph node around neck could be due to any infective process in the oral cavity including teeth or due to any pathology either in the thyroid or nearby organs. If it is not enlarging, then you may observe it for some time. Even you may go for a course of antibiotics on consultation with your family physician. However, if it persists, then you may have to go for a fine needle aspiration cytology or an excisional biopsy as per the advice of your family physician/ surgeon. Wishing you an early recovery.
