Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. 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 a 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 concern
