Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
Those would likely be swollen lymph nodes and definitely need to be checked out by the doctor when you go in. They can probably wait the week or so but don't put it off too much longer. You need to get to the bottom of this and rule out lymphoma.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
