Well, I wouldn't call it normal, but it isn't all that bad a thing either. I have a friend who is in your exact situation, but he's very proud of it. You should be too. And you never know, the rest of your body might just "grow" into it in a couple of years.

Since you have noticed that you have these two lymph nodes, perhaps they are a little uncomfortable.  If painful they can indicate signs of a cold or infection.    For instance, if you get Mono or the kissing disease you will notice that you have lymph nodes all over the place.  At any rate, you should be familiar with your body and notice all that goes on with it.  If symptoms progress to concern, see a doctor.

at any given point, it is not unusual to have a few isolated, enlarged lymph nodes. the lymph system in your body is very much like the "garbage pick up" service. the lymph system is intimately connected with your blood system, and the lymph system with take the debris, old cells, damaged cells, bacteria/viruses, and basically all the "garbage" out of your blood. it then circulates and destroys that "garbage". it is very common to have enlarged lymph nodes, and if your doctor told you not to worry, then don't worry. if you lab work/blood work was clean, you are more than likely healthy. continue to eat well, rest, and care for your body. follow up with your specialized ct scan as your doctor suggests. good luck. if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.

Lymph glands can rupture if they swell enough \nthey dont really tear as they are elastic \n\nthe symptoms do sound like a blocked gland however \ni would go to the doctro sooner rather than later - the sooner it is drained the better

Could be an enlarged lymph node.  You have these all long your jaw line and your neck, some people have more than others.  I had one that became enlarged, about the size of a pea, same as yours, and it freaked me out so I had a doctor look at it.  He said that lymph nodes get bigger and smaller, most of the time without us even noticing.  It can be a sign that you are fighting an illness (such as a virus) or nothing at all.  I discovered that it was nothing to worry about.  Hope this is the case for you!

It could be just an inflamed lymph node.

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

No- this is not normal.  You need to see your doctor who will give you an exam and testing to see what is going on.  This could be due to many things including hormonal imbalance, thyroid, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons so please do see your doctor.

Many times, when I do an ultrasound on a lump behind the ear lobe, it ends up being a lymph node.  Lymph nodes can get enlarged when they are doing their job and fighting an infection.  Some people even get swollen lymph nodes after having their teeth cleaned.  Here is what experts say:\n\nThe lymph system is present throughout the body. Common areas where the lymph nodes can be felt (palpable nodes) include behind the ear.  Swelling might occur even if the infection is trivial or not apparent. Soreness in lymph glands usually disappears in a couple of days without treatment. If the glands are painful, it is because of the rapid swelling of the gland in the early stages of fighting the infection. It takes much longer for the gland to return to normal size than to swell, so be patient.  http://www.shands.org/health/information/article/003097.htm\n\nIt is very easy to have a doctor order an ultrasound for you.  Lymph nodes, as well as other solid or cystic masses, can easily be seen in this area.

I don't usually use Wikipedia but it's got a great article on what exactly those things are!\n\nSee below:\n\nLymph nodes, also incorrectly called "Lymph glands" (they do not secrete anything and are therefore not glands), are components of the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes act as filters, with an internal honeycomb of connective tissue filled with lymphocytes that collect and destroy bacteria and viruses. When the body is fighting an infection, these lymphocytes multiply rapidly and produce a characteristic swelling of the lymph nodes. Humans have approximately 500-600 lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen.\n\nFor more see: \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node

Evidently, you’re just on the time of the development.\nIn fact, it’s a normal thing during the puberty and as far as the sexual development goes on.\nIt’s due to the storm of hormones running in your body... so don’t worry!

It sounds like an inflamed lymph node, nothing serious. Lymph nodes are the body's way of saying you have an infection somewhere near that area. Yes, go to the doctor.
