Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.I understand your concerns.
Swollen lymph nodes and swelling in front of the neck gives a clue towards the infection in thyroid gland.
I would advice you to undergo FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) test of the swelling,to confirm the diagnosis.This test will help you to differentiate between benign and malignant swellings.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
