The fastest period of human lymphatic system development is infancy. As the infant's immune system gradually strengthens, lymph nodes may also experience hyperplasia. Most lymph nodes are normal, but some lymph nodes require parents to be vigilant. What should I do if my baby has lymph nodes on their chin?
Baby's chin lymph nodes should be classified into the following situations:
1. Normal lymph nodes. Some children can feel lymph nodes in different parts of the neck under normal circumstances without any particular discomfort when touched. Lymph nodes are small and mobile when touched, without any adhesion to surrounding tissues, and do not feel very hard when touched.
2. Abnormal lymph nodes, with larger lymph nodes that cause discomfort and even pain when touched. At the same time, if the child experiences other discomforts such as oral ulcers, dental caries, fever, rash, etc., it is important to actively search for and treat the underlying disease. If the underlying disease improves or is cured, the lymph nodes will gradually become smaller or disappear.
In severe cases, it is recommended to undergo ultrasound examination of lymph nodes to observe their morphology, internal structure, and blood flow, in order to further determine the diagnosis of inflammatory lymph nodes. For inflammatory lymph node enlargement, generally speaking, there should be some improvement after regular anti-inflammatory treatment, but it may be slow or continue to enlarge. But don't worry about this situation, it's okay. However, regular check ups are needed. If there are any changes in the condition, further examinations such as biopsy can be performed to confirm whether it is lymphoma.
Generally speaking, there are no other special symptoms of lymph node enlargement in the baby's chin, it is just enlargement. It should be a benign lymph node enlargement. If it is a malignant lymph node enlargement, the effect of anti-inflammatory drip can be better under the guidance of a doctor. Then, a hot towel can be used for local hot compress therapy for the baby. Over time, it will gradually recover.
