Lymph node and gland swelling for long time

[tinkerbell1918]

Hi there,

I'm new to this so bare with me.  I have had swollen lymph nodes through my neck and groin for years now that have caused me a great deal of anxiety, recentaly my gland in my throat swelled up after a sinus infection and still hasnt gone down a month later, it has become awlfully uncomfortable.  I don't really have many symptoms other than the swelling just general discomfort.  I went for an ultrasound on my whole neck yesterday (which always makes m nervous to watch and know nothing about what your seeing)  the lady asked me if i had a history of thyroid problems in my family which could very well be a standard question they ask but I don/t and im not over weight or super skinny or anything like that.  I do have eczema.  I am so concerned about the gland staying swollen and only on one side....could anyone tell me what this could be or if youve experienced the same symptoms.
