Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am also very concerned, afraid that the condition may worsen. What could be the reason for the lump behind the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It might be possible that it's a lymph node issue. Everyone has lymph nodes behind the ear, and children often have swollen lymph nodes due to the development of their lymphatic system. If you have a cold or gum inflammation, the lymph nodes can also swell. It's likely normal. Since the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, it's generally a good idea not to overfeed to avoid digestive dysfunction. You can try oral Jianpi Granules and Zhongliang Sheng for the baby. Also, give the baby some water appropriately.
