hi.
i suggest you follow-up with your surgeon for consult and clinical evaluation. based from your description, it could be cervical lymphadenopathy, or a recurrence of your previous lesion especially if malignancy was considered. diagnostics such as neck ultrasound or ct-scan and tissue biopsy will be recommended as needed. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
