Swollen lymph node in 2 yo for 8 months!!

[Housequeen101]

My daughter has had a swollen lymph node for 8 months, I believe it originally showed up when she was unwell and has never gone away.

Finally got the doctors to refer her to a pediatrician with an appointment in December (feel like I've been forever for this appointment) but it's been cancelled as my doctor referred her to ped surgern instead of just a Ped. I've called to sort it out but as it's Friday no one wants to sort it and have been told they will get back to me Monday.

I feel sick thinking it's something serious, has anyone else's child had a swollen lymph node (behind the ear) for ages and it been innocent?
She's fine in herself.

Thanks

My eldest was seemingly born with a load of swollen nodes on his head and neck, including behind his ears. Either that or they popped up very soon after he was born. He had an ultrasound after a few weeks but nothing untoward was found and they disappeared eventually. I’m not sure how long it took but it was definitely a good few weeks. It’s easy to say, and you’re doing the right thing getting them checked out, but I really wouldn’t worry.
