Swollen lymph nodes that seem to be "spreading everywhere" could indicate an infection, a response to a foreign substance, or even cancer, but it's crucial to get a diagnosis from a doctor. While some cases of swollen lymph nodes may resolve on their own, and some can be treated with medications, surgery is not always the first or only treatment option. If you're concerned about your swollen lymph nodes, it's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment
