Hi Justin, a wisdom tooth extraction has no relation with lump formation in the neck. Ya if the tooth had cystic infection at the time of removal you would had symptoms of lymph node swelling for 1 or 2 weeks which subsides with the removal of the cause. Your present symptoms indicates an ENT infection. Visit your nearby ENT surgeon immediately.
