What Does Painful, Swollen Lymph Node Under The Jaw And Tight Throat Mean?

Hello, I am a 24 yo female. This morning I woke up and I have painful swollen lymph node under my right jaw line. It is tender to palpation, and there is a feeling of tightness on the right side of throat above my tongue. This has happened before and eventually gone away, any ideas on what the cause may be?
