Hello,
Any head and neck infections like boil or carbuncle or acne? It may cause lymphadenopathy. But pharygitis or tonsilitis may also cause lymphadenopathy. Get examined for head and neck infections or oral cavity infections. Use tablet azithromycin 500 mg once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
