Hi,thankbyou for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your symptoms,it is suggestive of bacterial infection on the neck glands.
You may find relief by taking the following medication:
Antibiotic like Amoxycillin Clavulanic acid combination,Antacid like Pantoprazole,Analgesic with Antiinflammatory like Ibuprofen.
Avoid spicy,ouly and citrus foods.Drink lots of fluids.
If you are not getting improvement after taking above measures,then it would be advisable to consult an Otolaryngologist doctor.Ultrasonography of neck and histopathological examination is needed to find the cause of swelling.
Hope this answers your question.Take care
