Lymph nodes

Hello hoping someone can help me
my daughter is 22 months and has these prominent lymph nodes at the back of her head almost round her hairline
docs have refereed us to urgent specialist to investigate but has anyone else's children had this
they are pea sized squishy and moveable they just don't seem to go away
she also has a swollen one behind her ear which is just going down after 6 weeks but she had had chest infection and sickness bugs

any help would be appreciated as I'm thinking all things here 😭

Most likely these are a normal finding - sone good parent info here. Hope your wait doesn't feel too stressful.

Hi, my children have had the same over the years and other relatives children too so hopefully nothing to worry about. A doctor explained that theyre quite common in young children especially if theyre under the weather

Hi! I know this is an older post but I just wondered what the outcome was? I have the same concerns with my 6 month old. Thanks in advance x
