Lymph node swelling since a month
I've been suffering from swollen lymph node since a month after recovering from cold and fever. And its painless yet bulgy to touch.. though a small pea sized node..What's the best method to get rid of such swelling ? I'm so worried about it.

It would be great if you can mention the approximate size and the location where it is present
If it's around 1cm size, then nothing to worry about , can happen post infection, a course of antibiotics is often helpful.
But if more than 2cm or increasing in size with time, u need to get a USG neck and FNAC from the swelling done in that case
