Brief Answer:
Can see a specialist
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand that you are really worried because of the swelling in the neck region.
Although I can assure you that most of the swellings in this area are either due to swollen lymph nodes or due to swollen neck glands ,but still it would be better to see a specialist for proper examination.
You can see an ENT Specialist for the same.
