Question

I recently found a small lump under my child’s throat, feeling round and hard. I’ve researched and think it might be lymph node enlargement. My child is eating and sleeping normally. How can we have a detailed check-up at the hospital, and what should we do? Please help, thank you.

Answer

I’m happy to explain this issue for you. Based on your description, it could be a lymph node, which is often caused by a cold or other inflammation. If you’re not comfortable with the current situation, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. In the meantime, make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid touching the area.
