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.
What Is The Cause Of Painless Lump On Child's Neck?
My son is 8 now and at the age of 4 we found a visible lump on his neck about the size of a pea. The doctor said it was a swollen lymph node. 4 years on it is still there, still visible, no bigger, doesn't give him any pain. Asked the doctor about it a month ago again, this time he said yes it is strange and shouldn't be there but nothing to worry about. Of course I am going out my mind as to what it can be. He is otherwise healthy
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having chronic lymphadenitis giving this problem since long. See for some chronic infection in surrounding area like scalp, teeth, tonsils, ears. If infection is there go for its treatment. If child is healthy with good appetite, good weight gain and healthy, nothing to worry. Ok and take care.
