if you can feel it then that means its enlarged (since u say its painless). NOTE: ONLY A CERTIFIED DOCTOR CAN PROVE WHAT IT MEANS! lymph nodes are a part of your body's immune system, enlargement means its fighting off an infection. give it 2 weeks before deciding to go to a doc. but its fairly up to you, if your worried. its nothing serious. also if u have any other symptoms mention it to ur doc.
