Lymph nodes: Yes you can have shoddy nodes as a result of an upper respiratoy infection or other problems affecting the head region

Generally yes: This can be very normal in children. As long as they remain very small in size, and she is not bothered by them, it is probably normal, especially in the neck/head area. If she develops more of these lymph nodes in other places, or if they are growing in size or become painful, you should have her evaluated by her doctor.
