Hello and welcome to HCM,
Swollen lymph nodes, flu like symptoms and lymph node enlargement 4 months after a sexual encounter is probably not associated with any sexually transmitted infection/ disease.
The flu like symptoms, dry cough and lymph node enlargement appar to be associated with viral infection.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
