Out of my area of expertise. Suggest that you consult with an Otolaryngologist (ENT)

Lymphedema is generally in dependent parts of the body or where the lympvesseles are damaged. Lypmhedema of the thoat would be extremel rare. Best solution pl see a ENT doc- hopefully your problem will be found and solved Good luck
