Swollen painful lump size of golfball under chin. also very stiff neck and tired a lot going on 5 days and now just got vertigo. infection or cancer?

See a doctor: Get this examined, and if necessary biopsied. In greatest likelihood this is inflammation secondary to a local infection, but could be other things and needs professional exam and diagnosis. Go soon and get better.
