Hard Lymph nodes months after infection

I had oral gonorrhea that lasted for a long time. A lymph node on the right side of my neck hurt got massive and then hard. Eventually I got proper treatment and the infection went away but months later lymph nodes all over my neck are hard and painless. The ENT had my neck biopsied with a five pass through FNA. It came back as non cancerous. I went to the ENT about 2 months after this since my lymph nodes hadn't gone down in size and I noticed more hard lymphnodes all over my neck hard and painless ( but they were small). The ENT felt my neck for a second and said I'm fine. I just don't feel right about it. My tonsils are massive and the lymph node in my neck is still huge. I know that sometimes lymphnodes don't go down in size after infection but usually lymphnodes are not hard and painless from infection. They're not growing at all at least. I just want some advice on what I should do next or if anyone has had similar lymphatic reactions from infection that were not cancerous.
