What Causes A Large Lump On The Nape And Lymph Node Of The Neck After Tooth Removal?

Hi Doctor? My daughter went in to have her wisdom teeth removed. She was in theatre for around 4.5 hours. I was informed that there was a complication, 3 teeth were removed, the forth tooth was lost between the cheek muscle and skin.The Doctor closed her up. She was taken back into theatre 2 days later and the forth tooth was removed. 3 Days after her last surgery my daughter has developed a large lump on the back of her head and another lump in her lump node in her neck. What is this? Should I be worried? Regards,Jenni
