Question
My child recently discovered that there are swollen lymph nodes on their neck. Where should I take them to see a doctor?
Answer
If you find that a child’s lymph nodes on the neck are swollen, it is recommended to consult with an outpatient department of surgery or otolaryngology for examination. After the doctor’s examination, the best treatment plan will be determined based on the specific situation. In addition, you can take some home care measures, such as using ice packs or cool towels for cold compresses on the swollen area to reduce pain and inflammation. If the swollen lymph nodes persist or are accompanied by other symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
