What Causes Swollen Glands On Sides Of Neck Post Choking On Food?

Hi, I choked on a tortilla chip about 5 weeks ago. I could breathe but it was very difficult to get the chip to move. After 5 full minutes of trying to swallow it, I finally went into the restroom and had to gag myself to get it to move. It took another 10 minutes to swallow it. Later that night, I felt a piece of something go down my throat when I swallowed. I assumed it was a piece of the chip as it felt like it came from the same place the chip had lodged itself. Next few days I was fine. Then, every now and then,I would feel that same area (left side of my throat just above thyroid) whenever I d swallow. It progressively got worse and now i feel it even when I m not swallowing. Sometimes, it hurts a little when I swallow my food. Tonight, I noticed two lumps behind my left year and one behind my right. There are also a couple of swollen glands on the sides of my neck. Could these be related? Should I be concerned??

I really appreciate your concern, as the history is given here you are sure about the swallowed chip it is just your doubt, so the best option you have to get done the x-ray and everything would be clear then else the enlarge lymph node is nothing to worry, hope this information helps.
