Hi,

As per your complain you have problem of swollen lymphnode that may be because of any infection. Super infection also lead to swollen lymphnode. Mention a size and consistency of lymphnode.

Lymphnode is tender and palpable or not. All this information give exact idea about problems. Consult a physician for further diagnosis. Physical examination of lymphnode is helpful for diagnosis.

I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
