Hello I’m a 16 year old boy. I first made a post on here 5 months about a lymph node under my jaw. To this date according to what I said it is now free moving but is the same size. It’s hard and painless. What I’ve just realised is that when I was a kid I always used to get tonsillitis. I had it atleast a dozen times making me get my tonsils out 3 years ago. Could this lymph node just be stuck there because of my constant tonsillitis all them years ago? For reference of size it’s rouhgly around 1.7 cm

    Hello Chris,  you ought to talk to your parents or guardian about this & actually, I think you can make your own GP appt at 16.  The other alternative is to ask the Pharmacist in your local pharmacy, like Boots or Lloyd's or whatever you have locally

    Good luck
