Why are the lymph nodes near my left neck quickly increasing in size?

The lymph nodes near my left neck have increased in size rapidly in the last 3 days. The lymph nodes were small when I found them about 2 months ago. However, they are increasing in size in the last 3 days and I have a fever of 102.8 F. Also, I felt cold after I took Tylenol. Is this a typical symptom for swollen lymph nodes infection? Is there any medical treatment?

Probably inflammatory or reactive in response to viral or bacterial infection. If sore throat and other symptoms, best to see local medical doctor or ENT
