Brief Answer:
acute lymphadenitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
Acute swelling of the neck mode suggests infective pathology. CT scan and FNAC are normal, that's good.any local infection in the oropharynx or larynx can cause it.
Since you have already stated on antibiotic, continue it take for 7 days along with anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac + serratio peptidase combination drugs twice daily for 3 to 5 days. Otherwise nothing to worry. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
