How to treat swollen neck lymph nodes in children

Patient's question:

Patient: Male, 7 months. Previously in good health. Current condition: Since early February 2011, had occasional mild coughing but with long intervals. On February 12, noticed sudden hoarseness and excessive phlegm, and went to the hospital for treatment. After receiving intravenous drips, on February 18, the voice remained hoarse, and the hospital treated with throat sprays for two days. On the evening of February 19, suddenly noticed a lump on the right neck and was admitted to the Guangxi Provincial Hospital. After ultrasound, it showed low echo with a smooth surface, measuring 4.5X2.5 cm with point-like blood flow. The doctor initially suspected inflammation and administered anti-inflammatory injections and throat sprays. After 6 days, on February 26, a follow-up ultrasound revealed the lump had enlarged to 5.5X2 cm with very low echo and point-like blood flow. Upon returning home, palpation revealed.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. In addition to medication for treating pediatric bone tumors, the patient needs to consult with experts frequently and maintain communication with the doctor. The patient should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should choose a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
