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.

Go in, a lymph node should not be hard, it should be soft and rubbery. Sometimes they are nothing but if they are enlarged for longer than 4 weeks that could be sign of something worse.

I've had this problem all of my life. You are very smart to know how to describe what you have found. No matter what, the only way to make sure is for your doctor to give you an exam & tell you what you (& he) should decide to do next. Good luck!

Probably nothing serious. If you run a fever, check for Mono. Otherwise just check once in a while to make sure they do not change form or get larger.

Lymph nodes get large enough to feel when you are fighting an infection, even if you don't feel sick. As long as you can move them with your finger don't worry about them. If they become immobile call your doctor.

SEE A DOCTOR. Do NOT let it ride. It may be nothing. In my case, it was Lymphoma. You need to know for sure.
Check this site and see if you have any other symptoms. Describe all symptoms to your doctor.

This is a good question - -- there could be possibly be a blockage - it's hard to say. If you are concerned, you should see a family doctor and get it checked out.
Good luck.
