I'm almost positive it's your lymph node. You have one on either side of your neck, right where you're describing. The nodes' job is to produce white blood cells. When you're sick or have an infection, they work overtime. That's when they swell up.

You're absolutely fine, it's just your body doing its job!

it's a swollen neck

Swollen gland of some type maybe. Have you had mumps before?
Check with the doc sweetie to be on the safe side.

Blessings.
Thanks for the Q. :)
