Patient's question:
My daughter has a slight fever, stuffy nose, and has noticed a lump in her neck that is a bit painful. The doctor said it was swollen lymph nodes and prescribed a 6-day course of medication, including a cold medicine and Omnicef (amoxicillin). After taking it, the pain didn't go away much, and another lump grew.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
Treated with 6 days of anti-inflammatory medication in addition to the cold medicine, but the lump didn’t go down and another one grew.
What kind of help do you need:
What should I do in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
There are small bumps, and they are related to fever. It is proven to be lymphadenitis that follows a fever. This does not require treatment. It is a chronic inflammation, and anti-inflammatory treatment is ineffective. Just focus on careful observation. As long as there is no fever, it will never increase or decrease persistently. The above advice is for the question "My daughter has a lymph node in her neck that hurts a little when touched." I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
