Question
Hello doctor, a friend’s child has a swelling on the right side of their neck. Could you please help explain what to do?
Answer
Hello, a swelling on the right side of the neck could be due to an injury, inflammation, or lymph node disease. Generally, no excessive treatment is needed as long as there is no pain. Avoid rubbing it hard and just keep an eye on it. In daily life, drink plenty of hot water, avoid staying up late and consuming spicy foods, and try to prevent colds. This issue is not related to using ointments. I hope this helps.
