HI.
Palpable lymph nodes could be a result of infection near the site of that palpable lymph nodes.  Even if the infection is resolved, there are times when the lymph nodes persist.  Other disease conditions that can present with palpable lymph nodes includes lymphomas and carcinomas.
It would be best to have yourself seen by a physician for proper evaluation and management.
Good luck.
