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.
hi doctor, i have a niece nearly 2 years old. she suddenly had swelling around the right side of the neck and the back part. her temperature has risen but otherwise she is ok. the swelling is so sudden in over a 6 hr period. she s been given an antibiotic shot by a gp. she said to review tomorrow. she s on panadol to control the fever. the swelling hasnt gone down and i m getting worried. please help.
This is probably a viral illness and the swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. Fever will take 2-3 days to come down and nodes will take 7-10 days. Nothing to worry if she is otherwise fine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
