Only increase in size or presence or absence of pain not criterion to conclude about cancer. Since lymph nodes drain a area, that also comes to account. On the whole infectious nodes are more common than cancer.
Next Steps
Get an ultrasound done of the node along with FNACand consult with reports either online or in a clinic near by.
