Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The neck swelling is most likely to be a lymph node.
2. Your treatment is fine, however the dose of Augmentin should be adjusted for liver disease (not necessary in mild liver disease).
3. If the symptoms are better and improving, there is no cause for worry. Get your ears examined.
4. If you feel that the swelling is increasing or not subsiding, get a neck USG done and share the report here.
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
