Hi,
Can you mention the exact site?
Small firm swelling in neck, that freely moves under the skin is probably a lymph node. If it is small (diameter less than 1cm) and it is not painful or tender to touch, we need not worry now. We can evaluate further if it becomes painful or progressively increase in size.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
