Hello,
Swollen lymph nodes are often harmless. Sometimes, swollen lymph nodes are suggestive of infections, goitre, thyroid nodules or cancer. You are suggested to get examined physically by a GP or ENT. Get assessed, get blood & Imaging tests done. Get biopsy of the swollen gland done to rule out any malignancy to stay on the safer side. Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
