Lymph nodes
I can feel two small lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. Less than 1cm each, about .5 cm for a better approximation. Located at posterior cervical based on online research. I think i've noticed them before, but just want to double check if this is something to checked out. No other symptoms of any kind or any sort. no weightless, no fatigue. I haven't been sick or had a cold at all in months.
