Does anyone have any experience here? Do u have kids who have had any come up and just never gone down? My son has one in his neck and had blood work. All back fine. Suppose I'm just anxious.

My little boy was 2 in June and he has had a swollen lymph node on his neck that is very noticeable since he was around 8 months old. It has been scanned and it was just a reactive lymph node, it has caused him no problems at all since then, just sits at the same size.

If your worried you could ask for an ultra sound scan on it and it will put your mind at rest, I remember how it feels because I was so frightening I never slept for weeks!

Hi. My son (now19) had a lymph node come up on his neck when he was a toddler. I remember being worried about it and took him to the doctor but they just said that sometimes they come up with a virus and stay that way. I noticed it for a long time after that, especially if he turned his neck to the side. Not sure if it went away or just got less noticeable as he grew up. If he's had a blood test I would be reassured.
