In parenting, both parents will take good care of their babies, and younger babies often have health problems due to their weaker immune system. For example, some babies may have swollen lymph nodes behind their ears, which can make parents particularly worried. So what should they do if they find swollen lymph nodes behind their babies' ears?
1. Under normal circumstances, the superficial lymph nodes behind the ear of a baby cannot be touched, but if there is obvious swelling of the lymph nodes behind the ear, it is often related to certain infections. Because lymph nodes in the body belong to the immune system, they tend to enlarge when an infection occurs.
2. The most common manifestation of enlarged lymph nodes behind the ear in babies is upper respiratory tract infection, so there is no need for special medication treatment for this type of lymph node enlargement. Effective treatment should be targeted at the primary disease of upper respiratory tract infection to alleviate and restore the enlarged lymph nodes to a normal state.
3. However, every baby has its individual differences. Although some babies may experience prolonged swelling of the lymph nodes behind their ears after treatment, parents need not worry too much and should observe them carefully in the later stages. If there is no rapid increase in lymph nodes in this area in the short term, it is directly related to the primary infection and can gradually return to normal after treatment.
