Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have got lymph node swelling due to sore throat. Lymph nodes are protective organs and prevent spread of infection body. Whenever there is sore throat, infective organisms drain to lymph nodes in upper neck and they swell. You need not to worry. Swelling will decrease once sore throat has subsided. Please start Betadine gargles. Avoid cold foods.
Hope this is useful.
