What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes Under Jaw, In Neck And Groin?

hi I have multiple swollen lymph nodes. I have one under my jaw which is small and moveable, possibly one in my neck which is moveable (I can t tell if it s a lymph node or muscle), one on the back of my neck which is hard and Unmovable but small, and multiples ones on each side of my groin which are all moveable. the ones in my groin and jaw and neck have been there for a year maybe more that s when I discovered them and I just recently discovered the one in the back of my neck it could of been there just as long. I am scared I have cancer especially from the hard immovable one. I have no other side effects, I had ear infections as a baby and my girlfriend had mono a year and a half ago and we kissed before she was diagnosed. could the lymph nodes stay swollen and never go back down from my ear infections or is it cause I possibly have mono in me and just have never gotten sick but that s what caused the lymph nodes to be swollen? I am still scared its cancer and need some ease of mind. I am 18 and skinny but in U shape, most of the time I feel very good

To know the aus of your enlarged lymph nodes you need to do fine needle aspiration cytology from multiple sites especially from the hard immobile node.
It will decide the further management.
