Thanks for your query . I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the lymphnode is concerned, it can be secondary to any infection in the head and neck region. If you take antibiotics, it's a temporary solution. So you need to treat the cause, that is treat the source of infection. For this you need to consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get an ultrasound scan to rule out any pathology in the lymphnode.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
