Hello,
you might possibly be wrongly interpreting your nodes to be enlarged. please see a doctor and if your nodes are really enlarged the doctor will run some tests to figure out why if it is needed. sometimes some people have a few enlarged nodes which are not significant. if you consult a doctor, he will tell you if your nodes are enlarged for real, and if they are indeed enlarged, he will evaluate to see if you need further investigations to determine the cause. it might also be that your enlarged nodes do not need further investigation.
i hope this helps
Best,
