What Causes Bumps On The Head And Swollen Lymph Nodes In A Child After A Fall?
My 6 y/o son fell at the playground and lacerated his chin, requiring dermabond. At the time of injury he complained that his left ear hurt when he opened and closed his jaw. It is 48 hrs later and he has 2, 1cm x 1cm bumps on his head that are oozing serous fluid. One seems to track almost to his left auricular/occipital lymph nodes. The nodes are swollen and the area is red. All areas are non-tender to palpation and he feels well. Thoughts?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection took place leading to enlarged infected lymph nodes.
go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammaqtory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream on the wound.
Ok and take care.
