Got painful swollen glands on neck 2 mth ago, which wax and waned, but it has come back. also had phlem,but that has declined a bit. what is this?

See your physician: Lymph nodes are part of the bodies immune system. They can become temporarily swollen and tender if you've had a recent throat infection. However, if the swelling persists it's important to see your primary care doctor, since certain cancers can cause swollen lymph nodes.
