What Causes Swollen And Visible Lymph Nodes In Neck?

All my lymph nodes are up and huge and visible in my neck. Apparently not glandular fever as just had results today. Odin in my left hand side, fatigued and confused. It started after red dots on my tonight, and flu-like symptoms. That gas gone but lymph nodes all up and weird pains an tiredness remain.

Hello and thank you for the answer!
Lymph nodes are part of your immune system (the lymphatic system) that helps your body fight infection and disease. There are may causes for swollen lymph nodes. In general, lymph nodes become swollen when they are active either due to an infection, inflammation, cancer, Immune system disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,Side effects from certain medications.
I'd suggest you to take a Complete blood count, and if there are some abnormality in the range levels, you should take an appointment with an Infective desease doctor.
Best regards!
