Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small red dots and rashes on the neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like swollen submandibular lymph nodes , allergic reaction or hives and can be due to infection in head and neck region. Many a times the lymph nodes can take a comparatively longer time to resolve as compared to the resolution of infection. You can take a course of antibiotics and also do warm compresses over the lymph nodes. As you also have breathing difficulty so immediately consult ENT specialist .In case if there is no resolution you can be advised to get a Biopsy or FNAC of the lymph nodes done to rule out the exact cause of the swelling and treatment can be planned accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
