If there is a bulge in this part of the child, even if it is not painful or itchy, you should touch it for self-examination!
Under normal circumstances, lymph nodes will silently guard the child's health in secret, and its size is relatively small, small like soybean grains, large like peanuts, and not easy to see or touch. However, once the lymph nodes are found to have viruses, bacteria and other foreign enemies, they will start the body's immune response, and constantly mobilize lymphocytes to resist the attack of foreign enemies, and finally manifest as the enlargement of the lymph nodes, and the diameter of the lymph nodes is more than 1cm visible to the naked eye.
When the lymph nodes defeat the external enemy, that is, as the child's body recovers, the lymph nodes will gradually shrink and return to their normal state, and they are no longer easy to touch. This kind of lymphadenopathy is a normal immune response, which includes three stages: antigen recognition, lymphocyte activation, and antigen clearance, which is beneficial to the human body.
If parents feel the lymph nodes in these parts of the child, do not be nervous, as long as the child does not have uncomfortable symptoms, most of them are normal physiological phenomena, which are left over from previous repeated infections, and will disappear during puberty, so don't worry about it.
In addition, lymph nodes also have the function of filtering microorganisms. If bacteria are present in the lymph nodes, it can also cause them to become inflamed and enlarged, or even suppurated. This is another common cause of swollen lymph nodes. When the child has symptoms such as persistent fever, weight loss, poor appetite, poor spirit, hepatosplenomegaly, etc., parents should be vigilant and send the baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid deterioration of the condition.
Have you ever paid attention to your child's lymph nodes in the neck or behind the ears, and under what circumstances does it become swollen?
