I just came from the vet scheduled because of my dogs swollen lymph nodes. The vet believes it to be either an infection or lymphoma (cancer). Make an appointment with your vet. They will most likely prescribe antibotics to eliminate any infections. If after antibiotics if the lymph nodes are still swollen they will perform a biopsy. Best wishes.
