What Could Be The Reason For A 4 Year Old Boy Having Enlarged And Hard Lymph Nodes On Neck?

4 year old boy has enlarged, hard lymph nodes on the neck and the stomach. He has temperature of about 37,3 to 37,7 degrees Celsius all the time. Recently he had operation and the doctors removed one of the lymph nodes on the right side of the neck. This condition is almost 2 years off and mainly on. What can be the cause?

Hi,



There are multiple causes for enlarged lymph nodes.


Best is to look at the biopsy result of the removed lymph node which will give the clue for diagnosis.

Good luck
