Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that it won't cause swelling of the lymph nodes. I suspect it is an infection that had caused you such a condition. You should think of biopsy and culture sensitivity form the aspirates of the lymph nodes to diagnose and treat it. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
