Likely to be insect bite
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It is likely to be either inflammed node or insect bite. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. If there is redness in overlying skin and itching its likely to be insect bite.
I would advise you the following which will be helpful in either of cases
1. Hot water fomentation
2. Analgesic like Ibuprofen will provide the much needed relief
3. Warm saline gargling: To a glass of lukewarm water, add 2 spoon of common table salt. Make the child gargle throat with it thrice a day. It will provide the much needed relief in pain while swallowing.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
