May be Lymph node enlargement. Do you have complaints of cold/lung/throat infection in past days. If so it is probably lymp node enlargement, which will cure on its own. If not you may need an antibiotic course.
Next Steps
Probably Lymp node enlargement due to local infection, needs an antibiotic course for 3 to 5 days.
