What Could Be The Palpable Lymph Node On The Side Of The Neck?
Hi, my 4 year old has palpable lymph node on one side of neck. i noticed it couple of months ago, and checked it out by 3 pediatricans (due to my hypochondriac nature) and all 3 said it is normal lymph node, not to worry. now couple of months later, i cant help but worry again. it has not gotten bigger or smaller. any suggestions??

Hi,
Nothing to worry for having single enlarged lymph node in the neck.
This might be due to any minor infection in the throat, mouth, teeth, scalp or in the ear of the past or present.
If there are multiple or matted lymph nodes are there, investigations might required.
Ok and take care.
