First of all give a detailed history about Duration of swelling,painful or not, Consistency and presence of fluid or pus.
swelling in neck may be due to multiple reasons including simple sore throat, Tuberculosis, even malignancy
give her simple painkillers for comfort
and visit a physician for check up, because she may need FNAC or other investigations depending upon examination findings
