Hey, is it normal to be able to feel nodes when there not enlarged? i can feel 2 nodes in my neck and groin and i'm also very slim and only 16. ive been told it's normal to feel them there but, can i always feel them there even with no infection?

The answer will not change no matter how often you ask. Normal means normal. Lymph nodes are normal structures that usually measure ~1 cm or so in length and are found within fatty layers next to muscles. The thinner you are the more likely they would be found. Areas like the neck or head which have no fat layers will have obvious nodes. When stimulated they grow to olive size or bigger.

You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Yes. It can be normal to fill lymph nodes. Especially in very slim people. Usually they’re less than 1 cm in size. They may go up and down with viral infections or small skin cuts. If you have one that is especially large or growing have it checked. Otherwise, you are probably fine just to watch them
