Suggest Treatment For Headaches And Swollen Lymph Nodes

Yes, I am a female, 50 years old, don t smoke, don t drink, have pretty good health, but for the last 8 weeks i have had a headache on the left side of my head, I don t usually have headaches. I have been to the Urgent Care, ER, family doctor, ear, nose & throat doctor, head doctor, I have had a brain MRI, showed all was ok, I had a CT-Scan of my neck area, the doctor told me today that I have swollen lymph nodes on the right side and left side of my neck, but one on the left side is 2.3 cm in size, he told me I should not ignore this, and to come back in a month, and if it has growed they would probably remove it and send it off, but he does not think it is causing my headaches. Any ideas what could be causing the headaches?
