Hello
The swollen gland in the neck is most likely a swollen lymph node and the tonsil swelling and bumps on the back of your tongue are likely to be swollen due to an infection. Please dont worry , meet your ent doctor , he will examine you and prescribe the necessary antibiotics . You will be fine!!
