Hi,
Thank you for your concern and consultation. Swelling of the neck painful lymph nodes may be indicative of acute lyphadenitis. This is due to infection bacterial infections. Tuberculosis and lymphoma are possibilities but not normally associated with pain. Lymph node in the neck may also represent a diseases in the throat, lung, stomach. so tests to rule out these areas are important.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mutuma Geoffrey Zambezi
