Swollen lymph node and night sweats
I have swollen lymph node for 16-17 days though I think It has reduced comparatively, muscle aches and pains and low grade fever that comes and goes, itchy throat and the fever only comes when my throat feels itchy and I cough, sometimes I do feel hot at night with sweats in my face and around neck though initially I don't feel hot while sleeping, is it a sign of night sweat? I read on Google that this could be something as Sinister as cancer, am scared. Pls reply.

What is the site of the swelling or lymph node that you mentioned ? At your age its more likely to be a chronic infection like TB than cancer but it cant be ruled out.
Next Steps
Visit a Medicine Specialist nearby where FNAC is available.
CBC with peripheral smear, ESR , Mauntoux and chest xray will be helpful in diagnosis.
