Brief Answer:
Probably caused by inflamed nodes>

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Lymph nodes around the head and neck region often get sore when fighting an infection. This is certainly what you must have at this time. This will gradually regress as the infection is already controlled. I will suggest that you take tylenol only for a maximum of 48hours and all would be fine.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
