Does a 3.5-Year-Old Child Need Treatment for Lymph Nodes in the Neck and Behind the Ears?

Question

A 3.5-year-old child has discovered lymph nodes in their neck and behind their ears, without any pain or swelling. However, they have persistent acne on their face. Could this be due to toxins not being expelled, and do they need to have their lymph nodes removed?

Answer

The human body generally contains lymph nodes. If the lymph nodes are not swollen or painful, treatment is usually unnecessary, and they do not affect the body. As for the acne on the face, it could be due to folliculitis, infectious cysts, or skin eczema, among other issues. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed examination. If diagnosed with eczema, treatment with external application of Danpi Fengyou cream may be necessary, along with oral Chinese medicine that clears heat, detoxifies, and relieves dampness, and it is advised to avoid foods that may trigger allergies.
