I like everyone response and I have a great respect and agree to that. My suggestion is you go to a Doctor ask him/she to get a blood test on you.

Your lymph glands are producing agents to attack an infection.

When you're fighting an infection, nearby lymph nodes get bigger and become tender. Normally, lymph nodes are less than 1/2 inch across (about the size of your fingernail). But, with an infection, they can swell to 2 or 3 times their usual size. They will slowly return to normal in 2 to 4 weeks, when the infection is gone. The lymph nodes may also feel hard or firm, and may seem misshapen. The skin near a swollen lymph node may feel warm. . . lymph nodes are clusters of white blood cells ready to attack the bad bacteria.

Lympnodes come up when you have your bodies immune system is working over time. They generally come up close to an area of infection but the more infection there is the larger or more numerous they will get.
