Patient's question:
A 3.5-year-old child has lymph nodes on the neck and behind the ears. The pediatrician in Wuxi said the lymph nodes are fine, but the child still keeps getting acne on their face. Is it caused by toxins that cannot be eliminated? Should the lymph nodes be removed?Doctor's answer:
Normal people all have lymph nodes. If there is no swelling or pain, there is no need for treatment, and it does not interfere with the body. For facial acne, it is believed to be caused by folliculitis, infectious abscesses, or skin eczema. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If it is skin eczema, topical danpi phenol ointment should be used for treatment, and oral traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat and detoxifies, as well as clears heat and dampness, is suitable. Avoid easily allergenic foods.
