Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern

Since you have persistent enlargement of lymph node and night sweets, I would recommend getting a chest Xray, ultrasound abdomen and biopsy of lymph node done to rule out infections like tuberculosis and to see if other lymph nodes on chest or abdomen are enlarged.as in lymphoma.
