It is probably just a normal reaction to an infection of the throat, usually viral and self limited. However, if it is red and warm to touch or feels like there is fluid in it or if it is getting large enough to affect breathing and swallowing or just won't go down after a week or two then you should see your doctor.
Having neck in an un-natural position for an extended period such as when reading, on computer, craning of the neck. Can also be caused by stress on the neck/shoulders from carrying heavy objects, heavy bag hanging off the shoulder or from bad posture.
That usually suggests an infection of the scalp. It can have more serious causes so if it does not go down in a few weeks see your doctor.
Swollen glands on both sides of the neck indicate an infection. You will need to see a doctor to find the cause of the infection and get treatment.
The glands in your neck can be swollen for a number of reasons. The common cold, flu virus or strep throat can all cause swelling of the glands.

Have a swollen gland on the left side of your neck and it doesn't hurt to the touch what is it?
The gland is supposed to hurt if it is swollen. If a gland doesn't hurt to touch than you could have an infection. I got an infected lymph node last fall which let me becoming violently ill and I had to get emergency surgery to fix it. As long as you feel fine health wise you should be ok, but if the gland doesn't hurt to touch and you start feeling really bad go to the hospital.
