Other symptoms will depend on where in the body the enlarged lymph glands are. persistent itching of the skin all over the body.a persistent cough or feeling of breathlessness.Some people with Hodgkin lymphoma also have other more general symptoms. However, it's highly unlikely that you have Hodgkin lymphoma if you have swollen lymph nodes, as these glands often swell as a response to infection. They contain white blood cells that help to fight infection. Lymph nodes are pea-sized lumps of tissue found throughout the body. The swelling is caused by an excess of affected lymphocytes (white blood cells) collecting in a lymph node (also called lymph glands). The swelling is usually painless, although some people find that it aches.
The most common symptom of Hodgkin lymphoma is a swelling in the neck, armpit or groin.
