Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Neck swelling after a trauma of that sort is normal and may just be normal tissue reaction to trauma.Also, swollen lymph node may cause such pain.I will advise you try a pain/anti-inflammatory drug like tylenol and observe.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
