I'm taking Jaz to the doctors today. She's had one enlarged lymph node/gland in her neck for years. I had it checked out about 2 years ago, but it was nothing to worry about.
On Friday I did her hair & suddenly, rather than being the size of a pea, its about 2cm round & sticking out about a cm from her neck. She has another one on the other side staring to get bigger as well, but its only pea size now. I haven't felt any others, but haven't tried yet.
I'm not sure what to think. I'm not too worried, but I'm wondering if I should be? I have no idea what it could mean.
Hmm def can't hurt to get it checked hun.. not sure what it could be.. but if it's getting bigger i'd ask the Dr to make sure it's def nothing .... i'm sure all will be fine.
I probably wouldn't be overly worried as such, but if it has grown that much and there is another one growing, then I'd definitely be getting it checked out.
Maybe its just an infection of some sort. They are all slightly swollen around that one. I'll let the gp check out her pelvis if he wants to. Can't feel any under her chin. Just 3 or 4 at the back of her neck normal swollen, like they get with an infection & that one. I noticed that one wednesday last week. Not the others.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

has she been sick lately?
DD also has a few enlarge lymph nodes around her neck and head and the paed said theres nothin to worry about it unless it hurts or it is enlarged for long periods of time.
It will usually enlarge when your child isnt well as the immunie system is down but should get back to normal size (in our DD's case larger than normal size) once they recover.
Hopefully its nothin to worry about, please kept us up to date as DD also has them and like you I get worried quite often too.
Would you be worried?
