Hi,
Most likely these are enlarged sub-occipital lymph nodes. If less than 1cm in diameter and non tender, we need not worry. Just show to your pediatrician when you visit next time for some other reasons, so that we can ascertain the cause after a direct examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
