A member asked:
My son has tiny little lymph nodes behind his ears and in his groin area. they are a little smaller than pee size and do not seem to bother him and i have not noticed anything out of the ordinary behavior wise. should i be alarmed?

Not particularly: These are where they are often found by anyone looking for them. The size is normal for a resting node. They enlarge when they are processing debris from the fluids that are outside of the blood vessels.
