Patient's question:
Approximately 4 months after the baby, a large bump grew on the back of the head, soft and seemed to move? Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is needed: The child's health, is it serious?Doctor's answer:
No need to worry, this is actually a lymph node, about the size of a peanut, and it can also be moved, without pain. Since the lymphatic system, especially lymph nodes, grows rapidly in the first year of life, healthy children may have lymph nodes that can be felt in superficial parts of the body such as behind the ears, neck, jaw, and groin. However, lymph nodes should not be touched in the chin, supraclavicular fossa, or elbow.Doctor's advice: I hope this helps you.
The above is the advice for the question "A 2-month-old baby has a large lump on the back of the head," and I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
