A member asked:
Are neck lymph nodes symmetrical? found a small lump on the back right side of my neck. 90% sure it's a lymph node but can't feel 1 on the other side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nodes: Typically they are symmetrical but not always. The node is on the other side of your neck but either your neck muscle is not symmetrical making it harder to feel or the larger node is larger because of something aggravating it like an infection. See your doctor for an exam.
