Swollen glands on neck and groin?!

I have a painless swollen gland on the left side of my neck and it started 2 weeks ago when I got sick. I had a sore throat, chest congestion, ear infection, and a cough. The cold lasted a a week and a half. I still have the cough. I was a smoker until I got sick and I have not smoked in 7 days, so I am not sure why I am still coughing. I also notice a swollen gland on my groin. but now I am not so sure because i squeezed it and stuff came out so I am thinking it might be an ingrown hair. My question is should I be worried or should i wait another week and see what happens with the cough and the swollen glands? My cough is finally productive and i am coughing up brownish thick stuff, i have done that before because I get bronchitis several times a year, I always have. Any advice you could give me would be great, thank you! My temp was also 101 for about 2 days when the cold first started but nothing since.


also the gland in my neck is soft, painless, and moves when i push on it, and it is about the size of a peanut M&M
