Hello,
The painful lymph nodes in neck indicate acute inflammatory changes following upper respiratory tract infection in the drainage areas.
Proper care with systemic antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines will help recover faster.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
