Pea sized movable node felt on side of neck if i turn my head a certain way.is this considered enlarged? no other symptoms

Unlikely: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, half an inch (1 cm) is considered the measure of an enlarged node. Rate of growth, being stuck down, irregular, tenderness are some other worrisome features of nodes.

No: The position and the characteristics of the node make it less likely to be dangerous. Have it examined by your doctor. All the best.

Perhaps Not: It is always better to have lymph nodes to be evaluated by physical examination so that someone can actually touch it and decide if it needs further evaluation.

Nothing to worry: no not considered to be enlarged if persisted or becomes larger see a doctor for assurance
