Usually submandibular salivary gland. Swellings are large enough to be seen and felt clearly. You may be having enlargement of cervical lymph nodes secondary to throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment if required
