Hello everyone!

Please can someone tell me how big a normal lymp node is suppose to be? I have a lymp node right under my jaw on my right side that has been what I call "big" since april. But then again I do not know how big they are suppose to be. Are a normal lymp node suppose to be feelable?

I dont know if its been there before april either, that's when I discovered it. I have had like 3-4 colds after that and it will be tender when I have a cold/sore throat etc, but it never seem to decrease in size.

Thanks!
