A member asked:
It is possible for a common person to seek and find their cervical lymph nodes although not swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Everyone has cervical lymph nodes, which are normally the size and shape of small beans, less than 1 centimeter, smaller than a dime. If they are growing, if there are large numbers of them, or if they hurt, one can have a primary care doctor examine the nodes.
