What Does A Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck Indicate?

Hi, I have a lump on the left side of my neck. (Under my chin and above my Adam’s apple) and it has been there for a while now but the past couple days or so it’s gotten bigger and the right side beside it is sore and kinda hurts. Enough to cause discomfort. Would anyone have any idea of what it could be?? Getting worried and pain get worse little by little.

Please help!
