13 month old enlarged nodes

Hi everyone I know this has probably been posted before and think this doesn’t help as I have a medical (nurse) background and always expect the worse! Probably have some kind of health anxiety on what o have seen over the past 15 years!

anyway, my son is 13 months old and we discover a lump on his neck in January! Was advised by GP at the time it was just an enlarged node and to come back in 6 weeks! (Too long, especially for a baby) so I went back after 3 weeks and asked for an US! So we got an ultrasound and said no signs of lymphoma etc! Fast forward 8 weeks a few other have appeared on same side! He’s been admitted twice to hosp in this timeframe! First time he had 4 different types of virus which were 2 of the corona and rhinovirus and fluB! Had another admission with wheezing following his immunisations then unwell again with cold which we all had!

I have a 9 year age gap and honestly can’t remember if this is a thing but feels like he’s had no break since the winter months!

what I wanted to know and put my neurotic mind at ease has anyone else kids had this?
