Suggest Remedy For Painful Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck

Hi, I have swollen and sore lymps at the top of my neck , the one on the right has been there for around 2 months and the one on the left came up yesterday when my cold came on. Should I be concerned regarding the one on the right as it has started to cause pain since they have both been there? Thank you for your time
