Swollen Neck Glands/Nodes

Hi Guys

Just looking for any advice really. I'm a male, 31 years old and have had swollen glands on my neck for around 5 weeks now. Have tried all the usual stuff, warm compress, ibuprofen etc. Spoke to a doctor last week who prescribed antibiotics however after using them for the full course they are still swollen. 
 

I called doctors again today and they have booked me in for bloods as I literally have NO other symptoms at all other than the glands. One side is pea shaped and tender to touch, and the other side feels like a group of 2

 

Just looking for any advice really, I panic a fair bit and waiting round for bloods etc only adds to worry, as I feel if I had an infection I would have some sort of other symptoms. I have looked on google (wrong thing to do I know!) and it's filled me with all sorts of fear.

I appreciate they can sometimes swell for no reason and are usually nothing serious, but would love to hear from anyone who has had similar issues. 
 

Thanks guys
