What Is The Reason For Lymph Node And Lumps To Appear In Neck?

I've been evaluated for neck lumps of my lymph nodes in my neck. I have 3-4 lumps on the left side of my neck. I've had blood work and an ultrasound and the doctor said he saw nothing bad. I'm wondering what could cause my lymph nodes to be swollen and stay swollen and for other lumps to be appearing in my neck.

There can be many reasons for the lymph nodes to become swollen , the most common reason being an infection in the mouth or airway, therefore i would like you to meet an ent doctor for looking for the focus of infection.Another reason maybe tuberculosis of the lymph nodes and i would like you to get yourself checked by a doctor for this.Thanks
