General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be a swollen lymph node. As of now you can try analgesics like paracetamol syrup for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
