Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I think you should consult your family physician first.
The common possibility seems to be in your case is enlarged lymphnode.When ever there is some infection in the near by area the lymph nodes in that region can get enlarged.
Even minor infection like sore throat can lead to this.
Still as you are not feeling well and felling tired all the time you need proper medical examination by your doctor. The problem could be due to some simple things like iron or vitamin deficiency or some infection.
Your doctor after examination will advise some blood tests like blood counts and other reports as per his clinical impression.
Please visit your Take good health diet.
Drink plenty of fluids
Take proper rest
Avoid junk food and soft drinks
I hope this helps and helps you in taking in informed decision.
