Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
The tender swelling on your neck with tenderness will most probably be a cervical lymph node or a sebaceous cyst that is infected. You need to have a course of antibiotics in case of a lymph node for any head or neck infection. In case its not subsiding with antibiotics further investigation is needed. May need clinical examination for other lymph node groups, few blood tests and excision and biopsy of lesion. In case of a sebaceous cyst too excision is needed to avoid recurrence.
Better consult your physician, since clinical examination is of prime importance in such a case.
Do reply for any queries.
Thank you.
