When are you supposed to worry about lymph nodes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph Nodes: Rarely. Lymph nodes are working all of the time to clear out your body of foreign bugs or other things that should not be there. They are doing their job when you can feel them. If they hurt, grow or do not stop swelling then getting in to have them evaluated may be wise. But, in general noticeable lymph node represent health.
