What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing And Pain On Right Side Of Neck?

Hi, I m 24 years old,and I have a difficulty in swallowing that lasts for about 4 months now. The pain is localised on the right side of my neck,between the submandibular gland and clavicula. My right tonsile,submandibular,cervical,preauricular and nuchal lymph nodes are swallen-only on the right side. My right sternocleidomastoid muscle is a lot bigger than the left one and it hurts.I also have otalgia (right ear). In the past,I had laryngeal oedema, but I felt better after I started to use antihistamines. I also have impacted teeth on my right side. I did the ultrasoud and didn t find anything exept reactive lymph nodes. Now I still can t figure out what couses the difficulty in swallowing so I need your help. Thank you very much for your answer (and sorry because of the long letter)
