Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat And Swollen Lymph Node In The Neck
HELLO,
MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WAS SEEN AT HIS PEDIATRICIANS OFFICE TODAY FOR STREP THROAT. WHILE DOING THE EXAM THE DOC NOTICED THE SMALLER GLANDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF HIS NECK WERE VERY SWOLLEN. HE SEEMED A BIT CONCERNED, HE ASKED IF I HAD NOTICED THIS BEFORE AND TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. WHAT SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT? HE SAID TYPICALLY THE LARGER GLANDS UNDER THE CHIN AREA ARE THE ONES THEY SEE SWELL

HELLO, THESE SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES ARE ONLY DUE TO SOME INFECTIONS, MAINLY THROAT INFECTIONS, START TABLET CLAMP-KID BD FOR 5 DAYS ALONG WITH BETADINE GARGLES AND AVOID OUTSIDE FOOD AND COLD DRINKS.....AS INFECTION WILL SUBSIDE THESE LYMPH NODES WILL REGRESS SPONTANEOUSLY
