Long story short:
Last Feb we were out shopping, and my son fell asleep in the shopping cart. Because of how his neck was angled, we noticed a bump (assuming lymph node). I would estimate it was 1.5cm. My wife was very nervous. I was also, but I wasn't totally freaking out as I know enough to know that this is common in kids.
I took him to the Dr. The dr wasn't concerned, and noted that his sister had a virus, and he was prob fighting off something similar. Soon after he got a bad flu, which I assumed caused the node.
Fast forward two months. Again he falls asleep and we notice it. We give it a month to go away.
Now it is a month later, it is still there. It may be bigger than February. It isn't huge - it is similar to a marble. It does seem to move. I can feel it no matter how he is angled, but it is most prominent if his head is tilted. At that angle, you can see it.
Last week I made him an apt with the Dr. It is this Thu. Since then I have been checking his neck as much as he will let me. I am not poking it, just feeling where it is. I have been stressed, but not overly so as I think it is mobile.
Anyway, this AM I went to check it, and felt around. And I noticed another one on the other side... but lower. What scared me is that it is down towards his collar. Not in his collar, but just over around his throat.
Dr Google doesn't like collar nodes. I did feel it, but he wouldn't let me continue and got mad if I kept feeling. I would say this one is 1cm-1.5 also. This one has me freaked out.
Now I feel like I am always staring at his neck, and wanting to touch it.
I am very worried about this new node.
