It's probably a lymph node. Sometimes it swells up to fight an infection. Since you're having a sore throat now, it's probably a little swelled up.
Is it movable? If it is, I probably won't worry about it too much. It will subside.

I read that they are normally pea size! You don't always feel them.
I can feel all my tiny ones in groin, but at present stressing due to a big one that I have to monitor for another 3 weeks!
