I am afraid that no-one here is an expert in general throat issues.

It is also difficult even for experts to diagnose from a photo.

I suggest that you need to seek an appointment with someone who can actually see you in person - probably a doctor. Most especially as an enlarged lymph node could be serious. If it is, you should not waste time discussing with people who are not able to help with it.

If you’re ur doctors are anything like the ones where I live (I’d say they’ve gone to ground, they’ll speak to you on the phone but I don’t know anyone who has actually spoken to one in person) then you might be faster to book with your dentist (all of our town dentists are up and runnng). They are knowledgeable with throat and mouth problems and can refer you to hospitals too.

You may need antibiotics so best to go to the doctor's and get a swab test. Otherwise try gargling with warm salty water - spit it out; don't swallow it. Olive Leaf extract is another that I take. However best to see the doctor - you don't know what it could be and if it needs antibiotics then best to start early. If you can't get an appointment, there are online doctors who may be able to help.
