Hi,

Welcome to health care magic,

I have read your query and understand the concern,

It could be due to lymph node enlargement which could be due to some viral or bacterial infection.

The causes of swollen lymph nodes could be injury or infection.If you feel pain and tenderness in swollen lymph nodes then you should see surgeon who will examine you and prescribe the appropriate treatment according to consideration of your tests reports.

You can take analgesic gel or tablet available over the counter for your discomfort in neck.

Hope this information will help you.
