A member asked:

Is submental lymph node often involved in hodgkin or non hodgkin? have 1 palpable submental node, about 1 cm. is that ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely okay: You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor.
