It could be that the swelling at the back of your neck is the enlargement of the lymph node due to your description. Lymph nodes may become enlarged due to an invasion by an infectious agent, including that persistent cough and cold you endured about 6 months ago. You should visit an ENT specialist who can do an additional examination and will advise you comprehensively on how to treat the swelling.
