Enlargement of multiple cervical lymph nodes may be caused by bacterial or viral infections. When the body is infected with oral inflammation, otitis media, or pharyngitis, bacteria may enter the lymphatic areas through the bloodstream, leading to cervical lymphadenopathy. Additionally, multiple enlarged cervical lymph nodes can also occur in cases of hematological diseases, tumors, or tuberculous lesions.
