Depends: Usually lymph drains centrally, so suggests throat/sinus/ear infection--unless limited to nodes at base of neck/upper chest, then possible. See dr for exam.

Probably not: This would not be the first thing i would think of. They are most likely reacting to an infection that you have in your body.
