Hello,
The swollen lymph nodes are related to the bacterial infection in the neck. This could also be related to the trauma. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam. In the meantime, I recommend using a local ointment with antibiotics (neomycine, gentamycine, etc).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
