Hi, Swelling behind the tongue and pain on both sides of the neck could be because of tonsillitis along with pharyngitis.  Tonsils get swallowed and get obstructed and all secretions accumulate in the thorax and give you lump type feel underneath the tongue.  I would suggest you massage your neck area and apply under the chin with Desi ghee, almond oil so that Chat Doctor.  Gargle at-least 3 times a day with Betadine.
