Suggest Treatment For Lump In The Throat

My son has been sick and he has a lump on his throat at the top of his neck in the middle. About an inch wide. Maybe the size of a small cherry. Pretty noticable, Showed up 2 days ago and hasnt changed in size. Its not red or hot to touch. Doesnt seem to bother him. Playing, eating and drinking. Is it just a super swollen node?
