Hi,,

It seems you are too worried. It is common to have some lymph nodes palpable in neck, axilla or groin. These needs evaluation and treatment only if it is >1cm in diameter, is tender to touch, or is progressively enlarging in size.

Your doctor has reassured you after examining, your blood work and MRI has all been normal.Anything to be worried should be caught up by these. So nothing to worry. Just be relaxed

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
