What is the reason for the bumps on the child's neck?

Patient's question:

There's a lump under the left ear and on the neck of the child, about the size of a peanut. When he cries hard or breastfeeds, it feels a bit bigger when touched. He doesn't cry when it's touched, so it shouldn't be painful. Just noticed it, but don't know when it appeared. However, it must have been these past few days.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if there is a small lump on the neck with clear boundaries, it is possible that it is a lymph node if not removed. However, if it reappears in a short period of time and shows fluctuations in size, it is better to consider other possibilities and it is recommended to have a pediatric check-up. The above is the suggestion for the question "What's wrong with the knot under the child's left ear on the neck?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness every day!
