What Causes Swollen Glands In Front And Back Of Neck?

Hi how are you? I've had swollen glands in the front and back of my neck for about 3 weeks. And I've also noticed I've got this small lump in front of my ear that moves around when I touch it. I've not got an infection anywhere that I know of. What do you think could b causes this? Thank you

Hi.
welcome to HCM.
Do you have symptoms of evening rising fever, wt loss, lethargy, past history of TB. That may be enlarged lymph nodes due to TB, which requires fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). other rare possibility is lymphoma. It can also be nonspecific simple glands which do not require any treatment.
Regards.
