Anonymous, have you seen your health care provider about this?

It could be a lymph node, and those swell in response to infection or inflammation in the area above. So if you have a sinus or tonsil infection, for instance, the nodes in your neck may swell. Because there is a lot of sensitivity in that area, when a node swells you sometimes feel like it is blocking part of your trachea and breathing, even if the swelling is slight.

I suggest you see your health care provider in case you have some sort of infection. Please let us know how you're doing.
