Hi. I understand your issue. You have got an acute upper respiratory tract infection.
there is nothing ti worry about it.the lump is most likely the draining lymph node,which has protecive role to prevent the spread od infection further.
If i was your treating doctor, i would put you on ampirical antibiotics,anti allergic and pain killer.
As these are precription medicine,consult an e.n.t specialist in your area,as they are trained in this field.
I hope i gave your answer,if you have further questions, i will be happy to help you.
