Answers:
Insect bites can cause lymph nodes to swell up!. So can a virus or infection!. Given what you're describing, it would be very unlikely this is lymphoma or any other kind of cancer!. The most likely cause is allergic or perhaps infectious!.
If the swollen nodes concern you right now, see your doctor!. Otherwise, it would be ok to wait a week or so and see if they don't go away!. If they don't go down, or if you develop other symptoms like a fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms, I would go see my doctor!. At this point, I would be much more worried about an infection than cancer!.
