What Causes Swelling In Throat?

my daughter has an unusual swelling in the back of her throat. I took her to the emergency room because she s having trouble swallowing and I was told that it is just her vallecula and it is normal. Does this sound normal, when I have never seen the swelling in her mouth before.
