See doctor: If it hurts when you swallow, there is something wrong. Thus you need to have your doctor take a look at it and find out why it is hurting.

Lymphadenopathy: If this persists it might be best to have it examined by a doctor. Most of these are quite benign and a reaction to an inflammatory process in the area. This might include dental conditions, ear infections, sinusitis, problems in the trachea or esophagus, etc. If it persists or gets worse it might be best to have it examined. Good luck.
