Suggest Treatment For A Strain On The Left Side Of Neck And Chin

Today, I felt a strange strain on the left side of my neck and inside left side of throat. I felt something move down and when I felt it, it was semi hard it was visible that it was larger than the other side. More under my left chin than neck. Could it be a kernel?
