Hi..Can understand your concern.As per your query.about swelling and pain in right side of neck looks like lymphnode swelling.There is usually regional lymph node swelling when there is any infection in the surrounding area .It may be any tooth infection or tonsillitis.You need not to worry much..Do hot saline gargles many times and need to take antibiotic like azithromycin.. .If no relief and symptoms persist you need to consult a physician.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
