A member asked:

I thought i had one swollen lymph node, but i felt another one. they are right next to each other. i had pink eye and a long sickness. i am just wondering if it's normal to have them right next to each other.

Not unusual: These lymph nodes are linked by a thin vessel system similar to arteries or veins. Two in the same region is not unusual. When one is active at cleaning up after an infection another nearby may also be triggered to act at the same time.
