Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to local inflammation or infection. The knot below the jaw seems to be an inflammatory lymph node. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and a throat bacterial culture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
