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;
