Answer
Hello. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System. According to you, you have swelling and pain in the throat. The lymph nodes are not in the throat but in the neck region. Since your description is not clear, I cannot give you detailed advice. You need to see an otolaryngologist directly to be examined.
