What should be done if a child's swollen lymph nodes have a poor response to intravenous fluids?

Patient's question:

What diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should we handle lymph node enlargement in children when intravenous drip treatment is ineffective?

Doctor's answer:

If you have had a cold, tonsillitis, tonsillar abscess, or other acute or chronic infectious diseases recently, it may lead to swollen lymph nodes in the neck, tenderness, or even lymph node suppurative, requiring anti-infection treatment.
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, refers to a condition where the patient has an extra chromosome in the 21st pair (while the normal number is one pair). Down syndrome screening is calculated by measuring the levels of AFP and HCG in the pregnant woman's serum, combined with the pregnant woman's age, weight, and gestational week to determine the risk value. The cutoff value is 1/275. A value greater than this indicates high risk, while a value lower than this indicates low risk.
