Question
How should I handle the enlargement of a 5-year-old child’s left neck lymph nodes?
Answer
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are common in infants and are often related to viral or bacterial infections. Generally, if there is no continuous enlargement or ulceration, there is no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to avoid repeated upper respiratory infections and inflammation in daily life and to undergo regular health checks. Parents should take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
