Sore throat is a common cause of neck swelling. A sore throat can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Swelling in the tonsils and the lymph nodes is symptomatic of a sore throat, which may appear as swelling in the neck. Symptoms of a sore throat are pain while swallowing and sharp, dull, or scratching sensations.
Causes of neck swelling include skin conditions such as acne, boils, cysts and skin infections; serious medical conditions such as throat cancer, anaphylaxis and angioedema; neck injury; and neck surgery, according to Healthgrades. Conditions such as goiter, mononucleosis and mumps may also cause neck swelling. Ear pain, on the other hand, may result from jaw arthritis, tooth infection, acute or chronic ear infection, and sinus infection, notes MedlinePlus. Sore throat and ear wax accumulation can also cause ear pain.
