Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Your son needs physical examination by a Pediatrician to look for the significance of this lymph node enlargement.

And other group of lymph nodes to be examined.

Review of child medical history and vaccination status, physical examination, and any associated relevant clinical findings are important to assess the cause for this enlargement.

And further investigations like FNAC of the involved lymph nodes are important to know the nature of lymph node involvement.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
