Swollen lymph nodes in neck? Normal?

I just noticed when Matthew had his head turned that he had a somewhat decent size lump on his neck, under the skin. When feeling it, it moves, but I don't really feel this on the other side of his neck. I looked it up online and they say when a baby is fighting infection, they can get large. If I was able to see it without even feeling it, do you think this is normal? Anybody have experience with this? Should I call the dr. to make sure this is ok? He was sick for a couple weeks, and still has a cough at night. Just concerned.... what should I do? Thanks.

I used to get his all the time when I was little. My mom took me to an ear, nose and throat doctor. I don't think it was anything much to worry about. To this day, when I get sick my lymph node enlarges in my throat. I would just go to the doctor to get it checked out. I can't hurt.
