Yes: Several bilateral enlarged nodes in the neck are more likely to be due to infection, locally or systemically. However, enlarged nodes may be due to lymphoma/leukemia and metastatic tumors. If the enlargement has persisted more than a few days, consult your doctor for a more detailed examination and investigation.
