What Causes Swollen Glands In The Neck And Cough Despite Taking Z-Pak?

My husband was Dx with strep throat three weeks ago.Had fever and chills and headache. Was given amoxilcillin.Wasn t much better after 7 days, went to an urgent care and then did a test for mono, it was negative, but they gave him a Z pak. Fever is gone, but glands still swollen, now has a cough and has lost 15 pounds due to lack of appetitie. Very very tired.
