A member asked:
What is avg size of occipital lymph node? both of my lymph nodes are about size of dime or nickel. cant quite tell due to location. is that abnormal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head/neck lymph node: They are typically small, less than 1.0 cm and not easy to feel. Greater than 1.0 cm is considered enlarged. Lymph nodes often react to acute or chronic inflammation in the area they drain, which in the occipital area is typically the scalp. See an ENT for a good head and neck exam and further work--up, as necessary.
