Hi.as per the description this mostly looks like signs and symptoms of the differential diagnosis of lymphadenitis which are tb lymphadenitis, NTM lymphadenitis, Kaposi sarcoma or even lymphoma. To rule out to lymphadenitis it is necessary for a Manitou test, a PCR smear of the lymph node biopsy and even a FNAC. Which shut come to a conclusion of what disease process is going on. Constitutional symptoms would be anorexia weight loss and fever. Low immunity is a very common cause. And also specific treatment would be given accordingly after the diagnostic tests. Hope this helps.
