Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stye may associated with swollen lymph nodes , which may also due to Upper respiratory infection, hair follicles infection or erythema etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly. For stye please consult your ophthalmologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
