What Causes Pea Sized Lump On Back Left Side Of Neck?

I have a pea size lump in on the back left side of my neck. I have also had a lot of drainage lately causing a sensitive throat and constant need to swallow. Is it normal to have a lump on only one side or could this be something more serious. I assume it's just an inflamed lymph node but wanted to double check.

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be due to some infection and this need to be ruled out, initially this may be managed on conservative way with anti-inflammatory drugs, most of the time this comes around, if this does not improved then some investigation may be needed, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
