Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sudden onset of lymph swelling is not likely, but multiple lymph nodes could be due to infection but it has to be associated with other symptoms like loss of weight and appetite, low-grade fever. If these are absent then the lymph nodes are nonspecific and skin infection could be the cause, the condition needs a complete clinical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
