Cervical LN: You can get cervical LN enlargement from upper respiratory illness. Would follow up 1 month after you are better and see if they resolved/are resolving. . if not consider thyroid ultrasound and possible LN biopsy. Note individuals with chronic allergies /colds may have chronically enlarged cervical LN

Reassurance : Bilateral enlargement cervical lymph nodes with cold and ear infection are regular findings. This is confirmed by your CT and MRI and even biopsy 3 years ago. Just watchful observation with your primary doctor. Not lymphoma.
