Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I will strongly advise you to go for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the neck gland. As your symptoms clearly point to chest infection. At this juncture tuberculosis must be ruled out. This is a simple outdoor procedure of just 5 minutes and readily available with pathologists. Apart from this go for sputum examination ( gram stains, culture sensitivity, AFB staining)....
Best wishes
