Hello,
Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes include allergic reactions, arthritis, cancer, metabolic diseases, and an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

Depending on the consistency of the lymph nodes,soft nodes are most likely ginfection or inflammation, firm but rubbery nodes could be lymphoma and rock hard nodes are more likely from some other type of metastatic cancer not lymphoma.

I would suggest a FNAC and biopsy of the swollen lymph node to confirm the diagnosis.Treatment depends on the same.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.
