Hello ,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com and thanks for sharing your concern with us .
Your complaints are suggestive of lymphadenitis which means an infection in gland which is actually seen as a complication of any bacterial , viral or fungal infection . Such glands can also be indicative of any other infection as well which should be evaluated on clinical examination . Such glands , in most of the cases , comes back to it's normal size if proper treatment is started soonest according to the pathogen . Most commonly any bacterial infection is considered the culprit and proper antibiotics and antiinflammatory medicines resolves the condition .
I would strongly recommend you to get it checked with your PCP and take proper treatment .
I wish you good health.
Best Regards ,
