Hello,
I do not think that it can be cancer. it is most probably enlarge lymphnode due to infection. I would suggest you to get a needle test, It is very simple test called FNAC. This will give use idea about the cause.
According to that you can take antibiotics for three weeks and this will be fine. I hope this answer will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
