Hi,
It seems that due to chronic infection in wisdom tooth due to cavity there might be having chronic infection in the root of wisdom tooth producing enlarged neck lymph nodes giving rise swelling.
Now as infected wisdom tooth is removed, within few days infection will be cured and then swelling in the neck will be alright.
Ok and take care.
