Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It could be a cervical adenopathy which could be insignificant. Moreover without any other manifestations like prolonged fever or weight loss or loss of appetite, I think your doctor is probably right, but i suggest you wait not only for 5 days as it is going to take longer time. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
