What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck And Armpit?

My daughter (21) started out with swollen glands in neck and armpit and a sore throat, severe chill and ached from the chest up. Next day aches were gone but her back and neck were extremly sore. Today she has a pounding headache and sharp pain in her left arm pit. She says it hurts to talk or move her arm.
