4 year old with Swollen lymph nodes no other symptoms

Hi , just here for some information really, does anyone else know anything about swollen lymph node in children? I've turned to google as an extremely worried mum and found the worst answers you could imagine, I'm posting here as I've read through some of the forums and there seem to be a lot of people that have had issues with lymph nodes ( some cancerous/some not) and was just looking for reassurance really or any information about this in children?. I've taken him to the doctors , he's Had them for 4 weeks now they haven't got any smaller they are by his collar bone and a large one in the bacl of his neck behind his ear and like I said no other signs of infection, no other symptoms, nothing he's been referred for an ultrasound and he's having some blood tests done so yea any information would be appreciated and any reassurance would be amazing, thank you

  • Hey! Not my child but I recently had a swollen lymph node in my neck. No sign of infection or anything, the GP wasn't worried and said it may never go away but I think it's been about 4 weeks now and it's still there but has gone down, I think a few more weeks it will disappear. Maybe your sons could be the same! Sorry I'm not much help but hope this puts you at ease x
