What Is The Pea Sized Lump On My Son S Chest?

My five year old son has just shown me a hard mobile peasized lump on the outer aspect of his right chest (not quite under the arm pit). He has recently had Slapped Cheek Fever, the rash is just starting to subside on his trunk. Not sure what this lump is. Any ideas?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi

WelCome to the HCM

It seems that your child has enlarged lymph node which can give such kind of presentation. The reason can be infection or inflammation in most cases. So, I would recommend you to go for a proper clinal examination by a pediatrician and treatment accordingly.

Take care
