Dear lybrate user,
as you had detailed----you had an urti few months ago and had a swollen lymph node --which continues after urti is gone---i recommend you to have a check-up with a pulmonologist soon --they will examine your respiratory system in detail and will do local examination and give appropriate treatment ,if needed //or let you go with out any anxiety by explaining to you the details ------ok.
