Could this be Glandual Fever?

Hello, this all started about 2 weeks ago. I woke up one morning with sweat and a sore throat also a stuffy nose and I had a nasty cough with phglem. I had a headache also. I noticed my neck hurted when I turned it to the right. I notice a swollen lymph node. I don't know if I had a fever? But i know I wasn't feeling right. I had an appointment for a blood test and it came up negative for anything. At that time I took the blood test I wasn't sick. Should I do a retake? At the same appointment I told my symptoms such as the cough and the swollen lymph nodes and the phglem. He told me I have an infection and gave me antibiotics. I took them and so far they are doing pretty well. I don't have the cough with phylem as much and the my stuffiness has somewhat improved. I still have the swollen lymph nodes. So i am worried. Wouldn't they have gone away already? There is so reddening around the swollen lymph node. I feel way more better than I was the day I was sick. I do have thoughts it could be lymphoma but my CBC was fine and that I can only feel one swollen lymph node. I guess you can call me a hypochondriac. I do sweat at my forehead alot but today I didn't sleep with any sweat. I don't want to think the worse. My swollen lymph node has gotten more deeper to feel also. is that okay? At times it feels small and sometimes big. I have no clue if I glandual fever  before. Someone help me?!

    Hi rowel123. No, touching the glands won't make them swell. I think if you take all the meds as directed your glands will stop swelling. If they are still swollen, then go see your doc again. Good luck.

      I'm just scared this could be something worse like lymphoma.
