Can you stop me googling and tell me if you know what these medical terms mean?

dd2 has had two bouts of pneumonia and was seen by a consultant a couple of weeks ago. I just got a copy of the report that was sent to my GP.

The bits that I don't understand are 'she has bilateral shotty nodes' and 'Harisson's Sulci'.

I don't know what either of these mean and if they're to be concerned about, but know if I google them I'll regret it.

'Harisson's Sulci' means a slightly abnormal shape of the chest due to an illness which in this case would be pneumonia.

Shotty nodes means they are small.

Not sure what each means in terms of medical diagnosis and prognosis but i know ds has had the former after chest infections and it has never caused a problem.

Ah, thank you all. So, not really bad or anything then?
