Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. What department should I go to for swollen lymph nodes in a child's neck?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is recommended to seek medical advice from a pediatrician or surgeon. Based on your description, the localized lymph node enlargement in the neck is most commonly caused by infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is normal for the umbilical cord to remain for varying lengths during the birthing process, and this also depends on the baby's constitution. However, there is one thing to keep in mind: it is safest to wait until at least 7 months before it falls off. Therefore, please do not worry and avoid touching it randomly, as this can lead to infection. Keeping it clean is sufficient.
