Hi,
There are few causes in children where there is enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, throat.
1, chronic lymphadenitis due to minor recurrent infection in throat, neck, scalp, ears.
2, acute lymphadenitis where there is severe infection in scalp, throat, ears,teeth etc.
3, multiple, matted lymphadenitis in Primary complex due to tubercular infection.
Consult your doctor and get investigated.
Ok and take care.
