Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that her symptoms could be related to a hematoma in this region (bleeding) or local infection.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist and performing a CT scan or MRI of this region (neck and head).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
