Hello.

The lymph node(s) could be swollen due to various causes include some possible intestinal abnormality lurking underneath. I would recommend a consultation with a gastroenterologist to rule out conditions like diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. In the meantime, please refrain from consuming foods or drinks that can cause an aggravation of your symptoms like coffee, chocolate, tea, popcorn, etc.

Best wishes
