Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing your problem of painful lymph node on the right side of the neck with normal chest x-ray, mantoux test, fnac, complete blood test , and ultrasound reports!

Only ESR is raised and surprisingly FNAC or needle biopsy is also normal!

Therefore, I must consider few possibilities as follows:

1. viral infection

2. throat, thyroid, ear or oral infection

3. toxoplasmosis

4. Kikuchi's disease

Therefore, you have to consult a hematologist or immunologist for a detailed examination and necessary steps;
