What Causes Swollen Lymph Node In Upper Neck And Night Sweats?

Hi, I went to a school nurse because I have a swollen lymph node in the upper part of my neck.. I m concerned about it because the bump has been there since I got a concussion 2 years ago but never caused me pain until now. There was also no CT scan when I got my concussion. Lastly, the nurse gave me ibuprofen and it seemed to make me worse. I have bad night sweats and I am sensitive to strong light and sound. What should I do? Also, should I keep taking the ibuprofen?
