Brief Answer:
they are all over the neck

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Lymph nodes are all over the neck, more on the anterior part of the neck.

They can get enlarged in case of head, neck and chest infections and malignancies.

Infective swellings are usually painful and malignant are usually painless and hard.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
