Lymphadenitis can be caused by local infection. I would advise you to go to the ER and get evaluated and undergo further investigations to find the underlying cause of the problem

Hello dear, at your age such swellings can occur because of local infections, but it's important to understand that the location and feel of the swellings can help rule out several diseases, specially if there is a background of fever, weight loss and other symptoms some of which can be serious!
