Please Help me with what you think!!?!


Question: Please Help me with what you think!!!?
Okay about a week a go I found a small little pea size lump in my son's neck (he is 4), We check him for wood ticks everynight so I know it wasn't there until it popped up that night!. I took him to the doctor and he said it was just a swollen gland or lymph node!. He said to wait a week and if it got bigger or changed then to bring him back in!. well for a couple of days it got smaller but now it seems to be back to the size it was in the beginning, What do you think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sounds like it might be infected or just a small cyst!. It does not sound like a lot to worry about!. Are any of his other lymph nodes swollen!? Under his arms, groin!? It could be that lymph fluid is getting into the node but it's blocked somehow and after the pressure built up it forced it's way out, not it's blocked again!. I would take him back to the doctor!. The fact is it was going away and getting better then for some reason it went back to the way it was!. They need to figure out why it's acting this way!. I'm sure he will be fine and there is nothing to worry about!. Just take the little guy back to his doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son (now an adult) would also get a lump in his neck!. It was always on the same side and would come and go!. The doc said it was a swollen lymph node, but it had nothing to do with him being sick!. He might have it in a stressful situation, or tire, or sometimes no reason at all!. I have not noticed it since he became an adult and obviously it's been no big deal!. I would suggest write down your observations for a while and see what happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it probably is a infected bite or something, it could have been a swollen gland but im no doctor!. take him to more than one doc if you are very conserned and is not sure of the docs decission, my brother had a broken foot and one doctor said it wasnt but my ma took him to another and another they said it was borke!. Can you help me with my question pleaseWww@Answer-Health@Com

yup, it's definitely a lymph node!. the doctors are right (for once)!. I've had them many times!. Normally, they pop up by my jaw area!. Often, they feel like little tiny balls!. They are not too harmful, but to be safe, i would take him to the doctor every once and a while!. Sometimes they're a sign of someone getting sick (like a cold or sinus infection), but just keep an eye on them to make sure they are not getting too big because that could very well be something more serious than presumed!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would take him back to the doctor just to be sure there's no problem!. If it was cancer or a tumor it wouldn't be changing size from day to day, so it is likely a cyst or a swollen gland like he said!. But they can drain it or take a biopsy to reassure you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son who is 14 months had something similar, and it's just always there!. It doesn't bother him, and the doctor said basically the same thing yours did!. I wouldn't worry about it!. But if you feel conscerned (we shouldn't doubt our instincts sometimes as mothers), then maybe its time for a second opinion!. Try seeing another pediatrician if its feasible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not sure, but I was intrigued by your question because I have the same thing on my neck!. I am an adult, though!. I thought it would go away but it has not!. It has hardened, and I think maybe was just some kind of reaction!. I suggest seeing a doctor, as I am going to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't no what to think !. You need to take that baby to the doctor!. And let the doctor tell you what that is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It appears to be a swelling, maybe he might have hurt himself, and it go cured automatically!.
