What Are Lymph Nodes?
Lymph nodes are small glands that help the body fight infections.
When children become sick, these glands may swell as part of the immune response.
Common Causes
Swollen lymph nodes may appear due to:
- throat infections
- colds
- ear infections
- viral illnesses
Symptoms
Parents may notice:
- small lumps under the jaw or neck
- mild tenderness
- fever during infection
When to Seek Medical Advice
Parents should consult a doctor if swelling:
- lasts longer than two weeks
- becomes painful
- grows larger
Conclusion
Swollen lymph nodes are often a normal response to infection and usually return to normal once the child recovers.
