Answer
Remember- I usually do not answer water turtle questions and am not a vet.

Swollen necks are often an infection. It can be from stress, dirty water, disease, poor diet, or many other things.

Sometimes, not often, but sometimes it will clear up on its own with better general cares and diet (try http://www.redearslider.com or http://www.austinsturtlepage.com for care information) but it usually takes a vet's care to clear things up.

You can get a second opinion at http://www.turtleforum.com if you would like. It is free and they are good people.
