Dear thanks for the question.
These are swollen lymph nodes(small glands). Adjacent organs drain their secretions in to these nodes. This is the reason behind pain during cold, as they become bigger in size. Don't worry, this is a common problem in many people. Keep oral hygiene and prevent your self from cold.
I hope my reply will benefit you. Write us for more queries. Kindly provide a feedback. Thanks. I wish you good health
