Right its probably nothing just a bit of what would you do would be appreciated, The wee one who is 2 has a lump in her neck just kind of behind/below her ear? Took her to local hospital because of cut backs ther aint no real children's docs there but they said it was a blocked lymph gland keep an eye on it see you later,took her to G.P yeah that's a big lump,blocked lymph gland I will get you referred to Glasgow? do we wait on referral letter or just go to glasgow ourselves said letter should be a few weeks?

 

The * are you doing asking us plebs?

Get to Glasgow pronto...

 

hospital pronto , probably nothing but get it checked .

 

As has been said, it’s likely nothing but get it checked for peace of mind and to be sure.

 

Go.

 

wouldnae * about mate especially cos shes just a young pup. get it seen tae. best ae luck bud

 

Take her as soon as you can. Not worth taking the risk of waiting.

 

Cheers guys just wasn't sure if they would be like it's nothing you've been told twice and you should have waited on your letter.

 

* them, even if they are. You’d never forgive yourself if, * forbid, it’s something you needed to catch earlier.

Most likely not but do what’s best for yours.

 

A know pal your right 1st thing in the morning thanks

 

My girls had that and it was nothing. Would still get it checked to be on the safe side though.

 

Thanks pal

 

Your little one is the most special thing in your life mate do what everyone says and get there and refuse to leave till you are seen

 

My daughter has big sticky out ones on her neck. Cervical ones. I just tell her she's an alien.
Gets them from me, only I've a bit of weight to make mine less visible.
Wouldn't worry.

 

My wee boy has a wee sort lump that's always came an gone over the years sure it's similar his is below his ear just at the top/back of his neck(It's more prominent when he's got the cold etc..),

would still take her to hospital to give u piece of mind though

 

I think it can happen when you’re unwell/congested that your lymph nodes become swollen.

The one behind my left ear is bigger than the one on my right, I noticed when I was around 16/17 and went to the doctor about it and she just told me to come back if it got any bigger or caused my discomfort, which it never has and that’s 6/7 years ago.

 

Same with ma wee yin aswell,think its fairly common and goes away eventually.

 

well guys just a wee update for those who gave me some advice it was appreciated by the way,the other side had got all swollen so took her to Glasgow,they did a chest x-ray took bloods and a throat swob but no medication as i guess they dunno what it is,no results as yet said it could be next wednesday but you can tell she aint well, awful pale and lethargic just lying about sleeping alot,docs didn't give much away when I quizzed him what he thought? it's a worry

Especially

How is lymphadenopathy treated in a child?
The treatment of enlarged lymph nodes depends on the cause. Enlarged lymph nodes are often harmless and go away without any treatment. Treatment may include:

• Antibiotic medicines to treat an underlying bacterial infection, such as strep throat, or ear or skin infections
• Antibiotic medicines and drainage of the lymph node for infection of a lymph node or small group of nodes
• A follow-up exam to recheck enlarged nodes after waiting for 3 to 4 weeks
• Other medicines or procedures to treat other conditions that caused the enlarged nodes
• Referral to specialists for incision or drainage or more exams, diagnostic tests, and treatment
