Hi
As per your description, it looks like enlarged lymph nodes. Most common cause of the enlargement is bacterial infection.
Any swelling in the neck should undergo FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology ).If it is inconclusive, I prefer to remove a prominent node and send for histopathological examination (Biopsy ).
Please consult a General surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
