Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node In The Neck

I've had a swollen lymph node in my neck for almost a year, it's movable, hard and about pea sized. Took strong anti-biotics for it and it did go down a little bit. I have had no symptoms and have not been sick at all, wondering if it's just the normal size or if it has just always been like that and never really noticed. No other lymph nodes are swollen on my body.

Hi thanks for query.
Normally lymph nodes not palpaple , If it is hard and not subside after antibiotic course , you can investigate by doing FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology. Most likely it is reactive lymphadenopathy secondary to some infection in ear nose throat .
Hope this will help you.
