Enlarged lymph nodes in the hilum may occur in both the right and left hilum (bilateral lymphadenopathy) or on one side alone (asymmetric lymphadenopathy.)

If swollen lymph nodes are only found in one area of your body, it's called localized swollen lymph nodes. And most of the time, you have a virus so there's no treatment truly needed and it will just run its course. The nodes will gradually shrink back to their normal size.
A small bean-shaped structure that is part of the body's immune system. Lymph nodes filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they contain lymphocytes (white blood cells) that help the body fight infection and disease. There are hundreds of lymph nodes found throughout the body.
What is mediastinal lymphadenopathy? Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is the swelling of lymph nodes in the chest, specifically the mediastinum (the area between the lungs containing the heart, trachea, and esophagus). Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is a sign of an underlying disease or infection.

Lymph nodes are small, oval-shaped organs that contain immune cells to attack and kill foreign invaders, such as viruses. They're an important part of the body's immune system. Lymph nodes are also known as lymph glands. Lymph nodes are found in various parts of the body, including the neck, armpits, and groin.
Reactive lymphadenopathy is when lymph glands respond to infection by becoming swollen. It often happens in children as their immunity is still developing. Lymph glands or nodes are small nodules which help the body fight infection and they tend to become bigger when they are active.
