I assume you have no symptoms & are feeling well. At your age these palpable lymph nodes are probably burnt out residua of prior viral infections,especially if they are tiny,shotty nodes in the posterior aspect of your neck on both sides. For reassurance, I recommend having a cbc&differential white cell count and a monotest.
