in my opinion swelling in throat have many reasons but according to your history it seems due to some abscess forming swelling with fever. associated with URI. I would recommend you to visit ENT specialist nearby for proper check up. I would recommend you to start antibiotics and antihistaminic, antipyretic medication.
