Brief Answer:
Dentist's opinion and treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Your history is so self-explanatory.
I hope the tooth problem is on the same side.
Obviously the infected root of the tooth gives rise to lymph node under the jaw-line.
There can very well be concurrent sore throat. Sore throat does not cause lymph nodes to swell unless there is an active infection.

Get a Proper dose of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines in consultation
with your Doctor or Dentist preferably. You need the Dentist to look into the problem and get treated accordingly.

Do not stop medicines till the problem is cured.
