Since the attachment is not opening I can't comment on the swelling. Probably they are lymph nodes which are enlarged and usually they are secondary to throat infection. You need to gargle your mouth atleast two times daily with antiseptic mouth gargle. Try to quit smoking
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
