What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes On Right Side Of The Body?

Hello, I ve had a large swollen lymph node in the right side of my neck for years now. Recently I ve noticed more swollen nodes throughout the right side of my body (groin, breast, around ears, etc.) although they re not rock hard, they feel very firm and are slightly movable, should I be worried?

Hello, thanks for using Healthcaremagic. some details which would be important in your case are missing like
age- differential diagnosis are entirely different with age
any history of fever or tuberculosis or taken treatment for tuberculosis?
any history of anorexia, unintentional weight loss?
in view of development of swelling of lymphnodes in multiple areas kindly consult a nearby physician or surgeon and you may need to undergo FNAC or excision biopsy of easily accesible one to confirm cause for this.
kindly do not delay consultation as proper diagnosis is very important. hope this helps...
