What Could Be The Reason For A Swollen Knot In The Neck?

Male 28. I have what feels to be swollen, painless but uncomfortable, knots on both sides of the bottom of my neck in the front just above collar bone. I also have one on the right side of my jaw (much smaller) just outside of an impacted wisdom tooth which is scheduled to be removed in two weeks. Currently have no pain anywhere, just an overall tightness in my neck and/or top of throat.
