I wouldn't either: These reflect normal work by the lymph nodes of the body. They are regional filters of body serum that clean out the occasional germ or debris of infection that enters. They enlarge/work/shrink over a 3-5 week cycle. I would expect to find enlarged nodes with that history.

Small lump on right side of neck, just behind jaw, about inch below ear. Is this just a swollen lymph node? Slight sore throat. Worried it's a tumor.
