Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node.
I suggest doing a complete blood count to check for a possible infection.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
