What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes Behind The Ears?

I had mono about 3 months ago and my lymph nodes behind my ears are still quite enlarged. I ve been noticing that when I take a deep breath it makes me feel like I have to cough for a few weeks and it seems more noticeable lately. No fever. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

Mononucleosis is a viral infection that needs months to go away. Lymph nodes persist for some months. If they continue to enlarge you need to see a physician.
