Such lymph nodes are very common and due to old infection usually. There is no need to worry unless they increase in size. They may stay for a very long time. Get them them checked every month if you feel worried.

Hello,
Small pea size lump - could be lymph node.
If size is same and not painful - wait.
Check for head/ hair infection.
Or consult online.

Seems like a lymph node. Nothing to worry about if there is no fever, redness of swelling or pain on touching it.
Head / oral cavity/ ent infections can give rise to swelling. Even dandruff can give rise to it.
Kindly check for above. If any focus seen, can take online consult for further management.
