Swollen lymph node or not?
I have pain in right tonsil but its not swollen and also below that tonsil I can find a swollen something, I am not sure whether it is a lymph node or something else, also it has pain in it, now whether that's a normal anatomy or part of the tonsil or lymph node or lump like thing idk, I'm attaching the picture pls tell me if any lymph node is located there or not. I'm scared. Like its otherwise not visible and not always palpable but when felt deep and rubbed frequently I can find something moving.
