Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for lymphnode (gland) enlargement in neck is respiratory tract infection.
Exhaustion is commonly seen with respiratory tract infection.
So better to start broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin.
Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Quit smoking if you are smoker.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
