Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The difficulty in swallowing can be because of many reasons like tonsillar abscess, any space infection in the neck region or because of anemia also. The swollen lymphnode can be because of any infection in the head and neck region. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Once the diagnosis is confirmed we can treat accordingly.
I hop i have answered your query. Take care.
