6 year old swollen neck lymph nodes after Scarlett fever

Hi everyone 

 

My little boy had Scarlett fever end of June  and was quite poorly with it for 2 weeks, with his lymph nodes on the left side of neck swollen also. I'm aware this is normal and just wondering if Any one else's child lymph nodes stayed enlarged after a infection? He is perfectly fine in himself. His lymph nodes have reduced a little and are small flat oval bumps that move when i press them. They don't bother him.  Thanks for any input 

  • Hi Clariss27,

    I believe this is fairly common however any medical questions or concerns would really be best checked with your doctor - they will always be best placed to advise, so if you remain worried or would like some peace of mind, then do give them a call.

    All the best,
