Hi,

Lymph node enlargement in the arm pits and neck may be due to Infection( Tuberculosis, brucellosis, staphylococcus or streptococcus, CMV, mononucleosis) in oral cavity or scalp or in the throat or lungs.

Breast infection or malignancy may also cause this problem. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. You have to consult your physician/surgeon they will examine and take the biopsy of lymphnode then treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
