What Causes Pain And Swelling In Lymph Nodes Of Neck?

Hello, Im a 25 yr old female, Im 5 3 108 lbs. No medical problems, only on oral contraceptives. I have had swollen lymph nodes underneath my jaw (left side only) for approx 1 yr that I ve noticed. I originally thought the cause may have been tonsil stones as I get flare ups of them here and there but have not had any for months. The nodes have been painless until recently. Approx 1 month ago I noticed swelling to my neck as well and a throbbing pain in the nodes under my jaw with no apparent provocation. One instance I did wake up sore post drinking, however I usually drink once a week and experience the pain at work, in the middle of the night, random other times as well. I saw a clinic and was put on Augmentin for 10 days. after completing the regiment Ive seen no change. I returned and had a CBC and mono test done, both were negative. I have no had any weight loss, night sweats, its hard to tell if I m more fatigued than usual as I am a medic and have a chaotic work schedule. Im waiting to schedule an appt with an ENT, but I would like to know what conditions these results may indicate or rule out and if there are any other tests or options I should consider.
