Pea sized movable lymph nodes
Are small pea sized lymph nodes a normal finding in your neck? I have a few that are palpable in my neck that are movable small and roughly pea sized. Doctors have said these are NORMAL lymph nodes with no infection present. Is it true that lymph nodes may not go down to their normal size after an infection? I have had these for months/few years. I have lymph node anxiety so getting another opinion helps.

Small mobile Lymphnodes may be normal after some infections but better get an ultrasound if they are multiple and long standing for proper characterization.
