Swollen occipital lymph node

Has anyone experienced this before? Swollen lymph node at the base of skull just in the hair line.
It's just one the right side and now I've noticed I can't help but worry. Been struggling with fatigue but I've been blaming that on having a one year old!
I will make a doctors appointment if it hasn't gone down by Monday.
Just wondering if anyone has had this? Would a doctor be concerned by this?
Trying not to worry but I do have anxiety about these things!
Thanks in advance

Yes. I went to the Dr and after checking it I was told to come back if it hadn't gone in 2-3 weeks. It did go by then but I'm glad I went to the Dr. Always worth checking these things and it will put your mind at ease.

Thank you for replying. Did your lymph nodes go quite big? I feel I might be being dramatic as you wouldn't be able to see it but you can definitely feel it

No not very big. I got my DP to feel it as I was doubting myself and he couldn't really see anything but could feel it.
