Likely lymph node: We have hundreds of pea sized lymph nodes scattered throughout the body. They are more often noticed in the neck where they are not buried in tissue & may enlarge with local skin irritation/throat infections. A close exam of your kid may find other examples in the groin or neck. They are pea sized at rest. Your doc can confirm this. I would discuss it at you next regular encounter.
