See doctor: Submandibular nodes are usually small or not detectable. Any lymph node greater than one cm needs to be examined by a doctor. You may need a biopsy if the doctor can not determine a treatable cause for the nodes (like an infection in the mouth). Please see a doctor as soon as possible.

Can you normally feel your submandibular lymph nodes? I can feel it on both sides deep under my Jaw and they freely move when I press on them. Not sick and not painful. Can you feel them without being sick? Feel larger than pea sized though. Thanks!

Enlarged submandibular lymph nodes for about 6 weeks. US showed multiple straight prominent lymph nodes measuring 0.9 x 1.1 x 1.8 cm and 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.6 cm. CBC normal besides WBC (3.0 L). Could this be from 2nd covid shot which I had 2 months ago?
