Question
The baby has two lumps of different sizes in the abdomen, one in the lower abdomen and another on the right side, looking like lymph nodes near the bladder. These lumps feel a bit firm and are clearly visible when lying down. The baby doesn’t seem to be in pain, and he didn’t cry when I touched him. This is what I found out today.
Answer
Based on your description, the lymph nodes in the baby’s right inguinal area may be enlarged, which is called lymphadenitis. This condition is common in clinical diagnosis. There are many causes for lymph node enlargement, with common reasons being infections in the lower limbs or around the pelvis. First, please carefully check for any sources of infection. If an infection source is found, local treatment or oral antibiotics can quickly reduce the enlarged lymph nodes. At the same time, check if other lymph nodes in the body are also enlarged, such as those in the neck, above and below the clavicle, and armpits. If there are enlarged lymph nodes in other areas, it is best to go to the hospital for a doctor’s assistance to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment for better results. In terms of daily care, as long as the focus is on the lesion and targeted treatment is given, recovery can be expected quickly.
