Swollen lymph node in neck and under chin

[purupura]

Hello everyone, I hope whoever is reading this is doing well

Basically about a year ago I noticed a small swollen lymph node in the back of my neck on the left. I waited it out for a few weeks and saw a few doctors. Then finally was given an ultrasound appointment to check it out, the doctor said it was normal and I should just keep an eye on it.
Fast forward a few months and the node is still there, it's as small as a pea and doesn't hurt, it's a bit rubbery, it didn't change size or anything since I first discovered it in June 2019.
The problem is ,at the time of the ultrasound I forgot to ask the doctor if it's possible that a swollen node that doesn't go away can turn cancerous like moles do. Also I have noticed a second tiny tiny swollen node under my chin that has been there a few week. (Again both not painful, movable and a bit rubbery) ...sigh...now I'm worried that I keep getting swollen nodes that won't go away and that there's something serious causing them. I would hate to go back to the doctor and bother them again about it (especially with Corona now)
Is it really possible for nodes to stay swollen and it be normal?
Please if anyone has any advice would be very appreciated

Thank you

My mom and I both have a swollen lymph node in our neck. My mom has had hers for years. Every time I go to the doctor she checks it and says to come back if it gets bigger or starts bothering me. It hasn’t changed size since I found it 4 years ago. It’s a little smaller than a pea.
I would say just to keep an eye on both of them and once corona is over, go see the doctor if you’re still concerned.

When I was in high school fifteen or so years ago I felt under my chin and noticed pea sized nodes that felt hard and rubbery. I panicked and made my mom make an appointment with an ent. He made me an appointment for a cat scan which sent me spiraling and I was convinced it was lymphoma or something terrible. Got the results and they were fine. ENT knew I was a hypochondriac and told me these nodes are going to be there when I’m 65 and I’m going to be healthy then and I’m healthy now. Fifteen years later and he was right, they are still there and I’m still healthy.
