He checked for swollen lymph glands around neck. want anything there but between 3-5 day found little swelling with slight pain/discomfort while pressing.

Hi,
Evening rise of temperature is typical of Tuberculosis. If you have loss of weight then the suspicion gets even stronger. The Doctor was testing for the enlarged cervical lymph nodes for TB Lymphedinitis. You shall be needing a FNAC/Biopsy for the same to rule out this condition.
Hope this helps.
