Question
After the baby received the BCG vaccine, a lump appeared on the left side of the neck. Is this related to the vaccination? According to the previous treatment and ultrasound examination results, the lump measures approximately 25×12 millimeters, with uneven internal echoes and unclear boundaries, and no abnormal blood flow signals. How should this neck lump be handled?
Answer
The neck lump may be due to lymph node enlargement, which is not closely related to the BCG vaccination. It is recommended to mix Chinese medicine five-bark powder, white vinegar, and honey to create a paste, apply it to the lump, cover it with plastic wrap to maintain moisture, and apply once daily. This treatment can be continued for up to half a month; it is typically curative without the need for medication or drinking medicine.
