Is Neck Swelling Related To Thyroid?

Gland in my neck swelled suddenly then went down within half an hour. Remained sore for a few days. Beforehand I was feeling very tired and exhausted. Could it have to do with my thyroid ( as I m on thyroid medication ) or do you think it could have been viral? I seem to be ok now. This happened 5 days ago
