yes lymph node infections
any silent bacterial or viral infection in throat organ can cause lymph node swelling may be sinusitis allergic or viral or fungal as you have history of shingles
consult the ent doctor to diagnos the cause and treat
meantime can use muscle relaxtants and anti inflamatory gel on area to contrl the stiffness and pain in neck
