[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The possible cause could be an infected collection / abscess - if it is painful on touch and tenderness.2. Other possible cause could be lymph nodal enlargement - which general after any infection, but fewer chances to get pain.3. Other causes will be glandular masses, lipomas.4. For a definitive diagnosis get an ultrasound neck done - that will help to assess the nature of the lesion, its source and extensions (where all its extending)5. Only after that a treatment can be indicated. In case of infected causes - a course of antibiotic will be helpful. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
