Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a local infection or an abscess in this region. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and performing a neck ultrasound in order to examine the soft tissues, coupled with some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). You may need to take oral antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
