Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swollen lymphnodes can be because of any infection in the head and neck region. The other possible cause can be because of infection from the teeth or gums. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If there is any infection in the above said region you need to get it treated. If there is no infection, then get an ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
