Hello,
The swollen neck running up the back of your left side of your head is suggesting possible infection of teeth or ear on your left side.
I highly recommend consulting with ENT specialist as soon as possible to get checked further. For the moment, can only suggest to keep good oral hygiene and take oral painkillers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
