Hello.
Thank yoy for the query.
Most likely it is a lymph node. If it is single, rounded and does not grow, you can wait and see. Usually such node appears after some infection. It can be throat infection, ear infection or teeth infection.
If you smoke, cancer should be ruled out. To do that, you should consult laryngologist.
Otherwise just wait and see.
Hope this helps.
