You seem to be having cervical lymph node enlargement which usually occurs secondary to infections of throat. Usually it will resolve on its own within few weeks after treatment of primary underlying throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics. If swelling persists then ultrasound of the neck and fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling may be required to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
