Sorry it took so long...it's been quite a week.
What you describe does not sound like nodes. It probably is not in your
larynx at all. It sounds more like throat muscles. Depending on whether it
is increasing or not, you may able to try gargling, increasing fluids, using
a soothing lozenge. If you have postnasal drainage, that may be the issue.
