Question
My son suddenly discovered a lump below his ear, and he has been snoring heavily during sleep for the past two days, causing him to be restless and unable to sleep well. During the day, he is irritable and cries a lot, and his appetite is not good. After hospital examination, it was found that the abnormal lymphocytes exceeded 45. The internal medicine doctor has not yet reached a clear conclusion and has prescribed the corresponding medication.
Answer
This may be due to the child’s cold or pharyngeal tonsillitis, which has caused the lymph nodes behind the ear to swell. After resolving the inflammation of the tonsils, the lymph nodes usually subside on their own. For the condition of abnormal lymphocytes, it is imperative to go to a regular hospital or a top-tier hospital for detailed examination and treatment. The doctor will provide targeted treatment based on the condition. In daily life, it should be encouraged for the child to engage in physical exercise more often to enhance their body’s resistance and immune ability.
