A member asked:

Posterior cervical node is pea sized, ent says tonsillitis. i had no symptoms except for ear soreness is that common?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Uyeda answered

If lymph node: is less than 1 cm, it is most likely insignificant. If it persists or enlarges, go back to ENT for recheck.
