Mono can cause swelling of Lymph nodes . At your age of 16 , the probability of cancer is very low , but possible. In your case the probability of swollen Lymph nodes is from Mono. I hope you have been seen already by a Physician and being followed closely.

You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
