Children frequently develop enlarged nodes when they are affected with cold/flu,
upper respiratory tract infections etc.,
These nodes will disappear once the infection is attended to.
Since a family history of malignancy is present keep a close eye on the nodes check for increase in size or change in consistency, watch for drenching night sweats, on and off fever, weight loss.
If the nodes are due to his flu/cold they should subside within the next 10 days.
