Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling in the neck can be an enlarged lymphnode secondary to any infection in the head and neck region. Nothing to be panic consult an oral physician or a general physician and get it evaluated. If there is any infection, you can get it treated that solves the problem. If there is no infection, then get an ultrasound scan done to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
