You need to see ENT: Go to see an ear nose and throat ( ent)doctor for a. Complete history taking and a careful examination. Possible causes vary from viral infextion vs malignancy of the lymphatic organ like lymphoma ( hodgkin's/ non hodgkin''s) vs other reactive process to condition located at the mouth or throat. Ultimately, a core biopsy of one of those lymph nodes would likely be needed to establish a dx.

Agree with Dr. Ho: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
