Whenever I get really bad cold or fever I notice a swollen lymph node in neck which is like in the size of pepper or peanut. It appears only when I get cold but stays for years and never go away. Two years before I found two swollen nodes when I had severe cold and fever and it never gone down or grew. And this week I again had a bad cold and found another swollen lymph node.

Hi swollen lymph nodes in the neck are a common occurrence during colds or infections, as they are part of the body's immune response to fight off infections. If the swollen lymph nodes are painless, small, and remain the same size, they are likely not a serious issue. However, if they grow larger, become painful, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or night sweats, it is important to go for routine blood tests as well as usg regards.
