It depends what the problems are. Lymph nodes can sometimes become scarred after an infection, so as long as the lump does not seem to be changing this may be the case. However, if there seems to be flucuation, a doctor visit may be in order.

If the lymph nodes in your neck are swollen or tender, it may be clogged lymph vessels or it could be a sign on an infection or disease. Start drinking more water to flush your system; but I would see a doctor, as they'll probably put you on antibiotics.

The first thing that you should do is find out what is causing these problems. Usually infections near the nodes cause them to become inflammed and swollen. If this is the case, an antibiotic will help. This could be due to other rare and dangerous processes, so it is important to see a doctor to find the cause.

Is your throat sore or do you have an earache? Swollen neck lymph nodes are usually a sign that your body is fighting an infection (like strep throat or otitis media) But it could be something more serious too (Hodgkin's disease) so have it checked by a health professional.

YOU need to have it checked out by a doctor, it could be very serious if unchecked. It could be anything. The doctor could take test to see what is actually wrong.
