Lymph nodes

[speeder]

Hello everyone

Does anyone know what normal lymph nodes below your ears and under your chin feel like?

I have a bit of a cold bug/sore throat and there are really tender bits under my ears when I press - and they feel quite tender and hard. Is that normal lymph nodes? Bones? Something more sinister?!?!?!

thanks

Oh my god I just posted a thread about this. Mine feel like lumps just under my ear lobe at the end of my jaw bone. I'm not ill with the flu or anything but they feel quite big. I think my left one is slightly bigger. Is this normal? Does everyone have this?

Hi - that is exactly what mine feel like.

They might always feel like this - I've just chosen just now to obsess about them!

Have you been ill recently? I think it can take a few weeks for them to feel less swollen if so. (That is if they are even swollen - maybe we are normal?!)

I had a flu/cold about 2 weeks ago. Yeah that's what I was thinking, do you notice when you turn your head left the right one feels bigger? Which makes me think their normal. God I hate new symptoms!! I wonder if everyone has these?

Yes one side is a bit bigger. Maybe they get swollen with the bug and stay up for a bit?! That would make sense....
