Hello,
A swollen lymph node in the neck will be probably due to an infection somewhere in the body probably be due to decayed teeth.
As of now consult a general practitioner and start a short course of antibiotics.
If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
