ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hi, what you are palpating is most likely lymphnodes and these are normal part of neck. There is usually no need for any treatment for this and this is an incidental finding. If there is an associated fever, pain or loss of appetite or other associated symptoms, there is need for further investigations like ESR and FNAC, otherwise, these are not to be worried about.
