Morphologically benign appearing lymph node on the left measuring up to 1.6 x 0.7 x 0.5cm left laterlal neck ? should i be worried?

Lymph node: You should not be worried, lymph nodes get bigger every time they are exposed to a toxin, virus, bacteria, fungus or parasites. It could be due because you had a "flu" recently. However, if it increases in size, becomes hard, not mobile or persists for months then you need to have it biopsied or removed for further examination.
