Suggest Treatment For An Aggravated Lymph Node

i have a lymph node in my neck. I went to the doctor because i noticed it and she said it was nothing, and that it will go away in sometime. That was two years ago however, and it hurts too. I get severe head aches at random moments and sometimes chest pain. I dont know if they are connected, but i want it to go away. I read online that lymph nodes swell in the presence of an infection of some sort, but other then wat was mentioned above...im fine.
Gender:female
Age:16

my mom said it was a growing thing...i dont think thats it, because i know it shouldn't hurt. Sometimes it gets large, then others, it decreases in size, but it never goes away.
