dear user


simply the most probable cause of these manifestations is infection causing swelling of lymph node ...and treatment will take few days for improvement ..you can take tylenol for rlief and you should do ice packs
swollen and pain with it means that there is infection bacterial or viral ..the lymph node have an important role in the immunity so when there is infection lymph node get swollen and inflammed and pain..... ...
you shouldnot worry about that just tylenol with ice packs will improve in few days ..also avoid stress

wish you healthy life
