About 2 weeks ago I felt the occipital lymph node hard and swollen, I had mild cold back then but it got away but still the lymph node is swollen, and now both submandibular are swollen (but the right is less swollen) and the left tonsillar lymph node is swollen and just started to be painful hours ago. P.s. I did tonsillectomy when I was young.
