The lump on the left side of your throat
below your tonsils could be a swollen
lymph node. Swollen lymph nodes on the
neck are usually due to some type of
throat infection. It's difficult, however,
to connect the face swelling and back pain
with the throat lump. You can visit your
GP to confirm or exclude possible throat
infection as a diagnosis and to inspect
the other symptoms that you mention.
