Does tonsillitis can cause swelling of lymph nodes?

Yes, if there is infection in the tonsil. Anytime you have infection in your body, your lymph glands become involved by fighting the infection. Lymph glands are all over your body. They have a circulatory system just like your blood does and are found everywhere. If you have a sinus infection or any other type of infection, the lymphs nodes in your neck, groin, arm pit, etc. can be swollen. However, if they stay swollen for prolonged period of time, there may be a more serious illness/disease present and you need to be assessed by a physician.

Why do i have Large swelling of right leg ankle foot and lymph and groin area?

the lymph nodes help with healing. if your right leg has an infection then the lymph nodes will be swollen. they get swollen because the white blood cells carry bacteria to the lymph nodes to fight and kill the bacteria that are causing the infection. whenever there is an infection usually the white blood cells go to that area to help fight off the bacteria. so its going to be swollen and tender if there are more white blood cells in one spot than there usually is. all it is, is an infection of some kind being fought off. see a dr.
