Hi there! 
So very similar to you, I've had a persistent swollen gland on my right side for over two months now. In this time I have found it very difficult to swallow normally and it's more like a gulp. Not painful but not right and very uncomfortable. I took stuggled to see a Dr as this all started a week before lockdown in the uk. My first trip was to the hospital where I had my throat checked and was told i had pharyngitis. Two courses of antibiotics later I was still having big issues with my throat/Swallowing/Swollen Gland/Pain under Jaw. My GP took bloods they came back fine, no inflammatory markers ?! . I was told to try antifungal mouth gel.. this too did not help. Still unable to see my GP I was told over the phone by a different GP it may be Acid Reflux, 4 course of Imeprazol later I'm still taking them, all with changes to lifestyle and a bed raised at the head end. I was tho reffered to ENT . I managed to get seen on an emergency appointment and had a good inspection of Nose, Ear , Throat, camera didnt show anything of concern. He did find a lump in my neck but said was not solid and so wasn't concerned. That DR also requested MRI to be done, I had this yesterday and await the results. 
3 months later, things are a lot better! 
my glad is still up and down on my right side but my swallow is slowly returning to normal although kFC didn't help yesterday but I noticed this and so call that my last kfc for a while anyway. 
I just wanted to share my story as i have been and still am kindda in the same boat. 
Good luck with feeling well again I hope it happens soon!
