Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms are suggestive of inflammation. Specifically, you could have a hematoma from trauma, an abscess, or a swollen lymph node. If it does not get better within a few days, or if you feel generally ill, you should see a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
