Can Pneumonia Occur Due To Cysts In Lymph Node ?
My son has been diagnosed with pneumonia and has been on antibiotics for 6 days now with no noticeable improvement. I just noticed he has two hard pea sized bumps on the back of both arms. Initially I thought they were auxiliary lymph nodes but his physician has said they are too low on the arm and are not nodes but cysts. Is this cause for concern? Is this relevant to the pneumonia?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Pneumonia caused when immunity low..
It might be hospital acquired also.
Vitamin A deficiency and environment pollution also contribute....
The cyst you have described is not related to pneumonia ...
It could be simple benign cyst...
It can be removed...
If needed FNAC can be taken from it ...
Complete antibiotic for pneumonia....
Fruits taken more...
Take care.
