What Causes Swollen Lymph Node On The Side Of Neck?
My 9 year old son has a swollen lymph node on the right side of his neck, near the back. He has had this since he was 3. It came up when he had an infection and never went down. It doesn t hurt and does not move. Is this something I should be worried about?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, most of the time such swelling could be normal lymph node and this may not be due to any disease but it need to be kept under observation for any changes, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
