Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia. You should go for examination and take a course of antibiotics. if it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable to rule out tuberculosis or lymphoma. It is prescription based medicine and you are pregnant so consult your doctor before taking any drug.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
