You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. Secondary to throat infection lymph node enlargement can occur in neck. Once the primary condition is treated lymph node will decrease in size. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
