Question
A one-year-old boy, due to inadequate parental care, suffers from malnutrition. Recently, his parents discovered bean-sized lumps on the back of his head and both sides of his neck, as well as behind his ears, which are neither painful nor itchy. The parents seek to understand the possible causes of this condition.
Answer
Parents are advised to take their child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and perform a complete blood count test. If the lumps are accompanied by pain, it may be appropriate to use ribavirin for treatment. Additionally, in terms of diet, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods and seafood. For concerns related to pediatric general surgery, parents should not panic but rather take their child to a professional hospital for prompt examination and treatment, and pay attention to regular health check-ups for the child.
