Hi, I Can Feel My Retropharyngeal Lymph Node On The

Hi,
I can feel my Retropharyngeal lymph node on the right side, swollen. It is not buldging out as such. I discovered this about 1 and half months back when i got cold and cough. I recovered but was feeling a click in the throat whenever i would turn my head to the left and gulp air.
When i put my finger over the nodule, i feel it, which, probably i never did.
Not loosing any weight, no fever or head ache, but since im a 31 year old, smoker for 15 yrs, i do have minor cough problems.
Did go to an ENT, he gave medication for infection on tonsil. I never had a tonsil problem when growing up, either.
Is there any sign I should watch out for?
