When any was a few months old I noticed a couple of swollen nodes back of neck: behind ears….. told she was most likely I’ll (I didn’t think so), then it was bone structure. However when she moves gear head, depending how her head is turned you can’t feel them
now a month or so ago another lump near her collie bone which sometimes can see, but always feel. Again not ill…… anyone have any think similar. Doctor isn’t concerned ….. am I just worrying for no reason. Thanks

Hi @Jadddd, responding as I had the same issue with my DS. He has one prominent lymph node on his right collar bone. I noticed it when he was about 5yo and it has never gone down. His is the size of a pea. I have to say, there was quite a degree of concern regarding his, because he wasn't unwell and there was no real reason for his to be swollen. He had several blood tests and checks to rule out leukaemia (he has other swollen lymph nodes in his groin and under neck) but they think that is "just him". I would definitely ask your doc for a blood test just to make sure all is well.

Hi thanks for the reply, he said he will refer her for a scan to put our mind at ease , but he doesn’t think it’s anything serious. 😀
