Hi,lymphnode enlargement in your neck might be due to infection in the throat.

You need to complete the course of Antibiotics for 7-10 days.
You also need Analgeics (like Ibuprofen),Antihistaminics(like Cetrizine),Antacids(like Rantac).
Also do warm Saline Gargles.

Hope this answers your question.Take care.
