A member asked:

What's the question?: Almost every young adult has a few palpable lymph nodes. Unless they are very clearly abnormal, they are best ignored -- they're your friends. If a white count is not excessively high and you feel well, and all the components are well-formed, this may just be you as well. Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. Hope the consult goes okay. I'd relax.
