Should We Consult A Doctor As My Son Is Having Small Bumps Around His Head And Neck?
My 3 year old son has had a swollen lymph node on right side of neck since birth. It has been exrayed and blood work done and all came back well. This past week we found small pea sized bumps all around his head and the left side of his neck. Are these lymph nodes and should we go to doctor again?

Its quite common to see multiple lymph nodes in children.
If the size is smaller than 1 cm , no tenderness then there seems to be no cause for concern.
I would suggest assessment by Pediatric Surgeon.
Take Care
