Hello,thanks for using healthcaremagic. i had gone through the data u have posted. those lumps are probably enlarged lymphnodes.
lymphnodes get enlarged when the area they drain get infected.
so cervical lymphnodes get enlarged mainly due to oral infections, upper respiratory tract, tonsillitis, sinusisits etc.
you need to visit a doctor for examianation, you may need some blood tests to know cause and then we can decid on further management.
Hope this helps
