Question
Which department should I visit for a child’s swollen lymph nodes in the neck?
Answer
It is recommended to consult the pediatric or surgical department. Generally, swollen lymph nodes in the neck may be caused by infection. Please note to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Usually, after birth, the length of a baby’s hair varies from person to person, and since each baby’s constitution is different, the time of hair shedding also differs, with the latest possible shedding occurring around 7 months old. Do not worry or pull out the hair arbitrarily to avoid infection. Keeping the scalp clean is sufficient.
