Is it normal for a baby to have lymph nodes in the lower jaw?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is it normal for a baby to have lymph nodes in the lower jaw?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be chronic lymph node inflammation or lymph reactive hyperplasia. For the former, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that promotes phlegm resolution and knot dispersion, as well as heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, can be considered for treatment. For the latter, fire needle therapy may be effective. There are many causes of endocrine disorders in children. If the child is diagnosed with an endocrine disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
