Is it normal for me to be able to feel my submandibular nodes when there not swollen? i can only feel them when i dig for them and there small and mobile. im very slim also. i can feel them at both sides?

Yes, it is normal. 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!
