Hello,
Nephrotic syndrome is a disease of the kidney where it losses proteins in urine.In children and toddlers it rarely occurs and the pathology is not serious. I would suggest my patients to consult a good neurologist for treatment and further evaluation.
Lymph nodes of 9 mm in certain regions of the body are normal. But I would suggest my patients to show it to a nearby physician and confirm whether it is a normal one or abnormal one. Sometimes the nephrotic syndrome in toddlers and child relapses and that requires good management as done by a good neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
