Hello, thanks for trusting HCM with your query
lymph nodes are immune organs that help in immunity of the body. there are never swollen unless there is an underlying condition that cause them to respond. most often, its small infections that get into the body usually through cuts or wounds.
In some rare cases swollen lymph nodes could be in response to more severe infections like tuberculosis or cancer.
In young people, the principal cause is infectious and generally such lymph nodes will disappear as the body fights against the infection.
Not sure of your age, but young or old, meeting a doctor will be beneficial.
best regards
