A member asked:

Swollen anterior cervical lymphnodes? they are symmetrical and solid like bone, had for a few months and not got bigger, 1cm, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: I would suggest you go see a head and neck surgeon or ENT physician. Even though it has not changed, the texture you are describing is a little concerning.
