Sore Throat, Swollen Lump. Taking Doxycyclene For Lyme's Disease. Causes For Swollen Parotid Glands?

I finished my antibiotics for Lyme s disease (doxycyclene) about 8 days ago. This Saturday my left side of my throat was sore, and Monday morning it was a swollen lump and sore. I went to the doctor who wasn t sure what it was and she ordered me to get an ultrasound , which I just did and it came back with swollen parotid glands. Could this be a result from by previous Lyme s Disease?
