Lymph node: If the ENT told you it is nothing to worry about, i would not worry about it. Lymph modes have to be bigger than a centimeter and be hard or spongy to be worrisome. If it is a pea-sized lymph node no worries. As your child grows it may disappear and or become less noticeable. Check it every 3 mos if you can still find it there good luck. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
