Does a photon have a width and height ?

[Edi]

So when thinking of a photon, we (at least I do) think of the picture, where is it shown as having literal height and width, but I know or at least I think I know, that the lines just represent the intensity/ strength of the E and M part of the wave, not the actual shape of the photon.
And it got me thinking - does the photon have an actual width and height? Yes, it has length - wavelength (what ever it is (?) ), but how about the other 2 dimensions? Does it even exist in other than one dimension?
Could the photons existence in only one dimension be the reason why it is the only thing, that can travel at the speed of light? And that other "things" a.k.a. particles, that exist in more dimension can not achieve that velocity?

It also has 2 other real parameters that represent the polarization.

It may have, but it will not be constant in time.

Ah, no THAT is very interesting. Will have something to think about.

What is width and height in the microscopic scale? Photon is a pack of energy

Wouldn't Lorentz contraction shorten it's length in direction of travel to zero? So I would think a photon could only exist in 2 dimensions.
