Hi
long standing lymphnodes in neck are usually sign of chronic infection like TB, or drainage from malignancy, but your symptoms of fever suggest that you also have not got acute infection, Please do not take it lightly, a biopsy of your nodes and the swelling is a must to come to a diagnosis.
Take care and get early investigations
