Does Lump On The Neck Of A Child To Be Worried?
my 2 yr old son has a pea sized lump on the left side of his neck. It is near the back of his neck about 2 inches from his collar bone. It seems to be stationary but will move if I press it. He has had it about 3 weeks. It doesn't appear to be painful. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi.
Not really to worry about as this is a lymph node most probably.
A course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine under the guidance of a Pediatrician will heal it completely. There may have been a focus of infection in the scalp or so, would have been healed long ago.
