What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes Behind The Ears?
Hi Dr, I have a son, 1.8 years old, he is a G6PD deficient. I observed swollen lymph nodes at the back of his ears. Is it because he has cough? or is it a symptom of G6PD? Since he always have common colds/cough in the morning, we give him ascorbic acid, is it okay for him to take ascorbic acid? Looking forward for your advice.Thanks Yours truly, Mom Ann

Hi,
No,
The swollen lymph nodes are due to some infection in the mouth,or scalp,.
Not due to g6 PDF deficiency.
