Small lymph nodes are normally present in many parts of the human body. So your doctor is probably correct in informing you that your chest CT scan is normal. Do have follow up with your doctor in order to detect any new developments.

Lymph nodes in the mediastinum are a normal part of the anatomy. Why did you have the scan? Unneeded tests are not good medicine. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
