Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes An Ear Growth With Neck Glands And Lymph Nodes Swelling?
When I look in my 4 yr olds ear with an otoscope he has a black hair like object. Its texture looks like a stitch. What would that be? For at least six months now he has had swollen glands and lymph nodes throughout his neck, is there any connection between the two?
A child with swelling in the neck suggests of lymphadenopathy or lymph node swelling.
Does he have a fever, significant weight loss? does he have any other complaints like hearing loss on that side of the ear?
He needs a few investigations of the blood like total and differential counts and the lymph nodes need to be evaluated by both general physical exam and probably a lymph node biopsy.
The black mass in the ear needs to be examined by an otoscope and removed by an ENT Surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
