Hello.
I am sorry I have to inform you, but sweeling on your neck are most probably limf nodes affected with tubersullosis.
It is treateble, and you should contact your TBC specialist to continue with antitubercul treatment (4 antibitics). Chirugical treatment might be needed if sweeling doesn't go away in several months.
Take care.
