HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, given symptoms of throat swelling but of course neck skin might have been affected and for that you can try Diphenhydramine lotion, or Aluminum acetate solution, lymph node swelling may not be due to this unless it is the infection part and this need to be ruled out and if found some infection then antibiotic can be used, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
