Hello,
Painful lymphadenopathy may be due to infection or fibromyalgia with musculoskeletal pain.
Please get examined for respiratory, head and neck infection by chest x-ray and oral cavity examination.
If necessary blood investigations needed to rule out Infectious mononucleosis or other viral infection.use tablet paracetamol thrice a day for five days to relieve the pain.
Consult your physician and get treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hello,
I advise you to do some tests:
1. CT scan of the neck, armpit
2. Complete Blood Count
3. Thyroid Function Test (T3, T4, TSH)
Apart from the above tests, I also advise you to take a physical examination, if possible.
Please do these tests as soon as possible and post another question with those or consult a doctor.
In the meantime, you can do:
-Apply a warm compress
-Over- the- counter pain reliever
-Massage
-A saltwater gargle for lymph nodes in the neck caused by an infection in the throat.
If too much pain, you can take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen.
Do you have a fever or are you fatigued?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
