Could neck lumps in my 3-year-old be serious?

I am writing to seek your advice regarding my 3-year-old child. I have noticed small lumps on both sides of her neck, and I am concerned about whether this could indicate a serious health issue.

Answered on 2nd Jan '25

Sometimes, small lumps in the neck area are caused by lymph nodes. This is a normal response to viruses or allergies. These swellings occur when the immune system is fighting with the body. Normally such cases will be harmless and will be resolved once the body takes care of itself but it is always best to see a pediatrician to get a thorough checkup done. They may offer you a solution and, if it is needed, the right course of treatment.

Your daughter's fe­ver, rash, throat pain, cough, and headache sugge­st a viral illness, possibly influenza. Dehydration cause­s yellow urine. Ensure she­ consumes ample fluids and rests we­ll. Administer fever-re­ducing medicines if nece­ssary. However, see­k medical evaluation if symptoms worsen or don't improve­, as viruses can sometimes le­ad to complications.

My baby boy is 31 months old and he didn't talking still... That's express his needs with signs only ...what is the the problem?

Male | 31 months

When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.

i’m in my first trimester of pregnancy and i’m freaking out because i just took dayquil and so my question is will my baby be okay?

Female | 23

Moms can feel very uneasy if they have taken something during pregnancy that was not on the medication list they were given. Hence you should reach the healthcare provider yourself for customized advice. You can independently diagnose and reassure him or her. Some signs to look out for are severe headaches, lasting nausea, and any other abnormal symptoms. Consult a physician. They will give you the most appropriate information needed to make a decision that you feel comfortable with and your baby is healthy too. Don't forget to ask questions and get the help you need during this personal growth.

My son is 3 years 7 months old. He is having ADHD and delayed speech problem. Last month he suffered from hand foot mouth infection but he recovered in few days. After that infection, his nature has changed a lot. He cries without any reason. When he gets up in the morning he cry for almost an hour. In day time also he starts crying at any time and we are unable to understand any reason for that. We try to do all the things which he likes but he only stops crying after 1 to 2 hours. The same problem happens at night also. On some days he wake up at 3-4 am and starts crying and after an hour he stops and then go for sleep. As he does not speak anything we do not understand what problem he is facing. He is also undergoing therapies for ADHD and speech delay. But at therapy centre also he keeps on crying. He was moody earlier also but after HFM infection this crying problem has increased a lot. Pls guide.

Male | 3

It sounds like your son's recent changes in behavior might be linked to his recovery from the hand, foot, and mouth infection. Such infections can sometimes cause lingering discomfort or changes in behavior. Given his ADHD and speech delay, it is crucial to consult with his pediatrician and a child psychiatrist to evaluate any underlying issues. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailor interventions to help manage his symptoms.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.

Mężczyzna | 12

At 12 years old, 60 kg, the­ typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divide­d into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the­ precise dosage base­d on his condition. Ensure he complete­s the entire antibiotic course­, despite fee­ling better! Inform your doctor if side e­ffects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

1 days baby in normal delivery so His baby jaundiced so NICU is mandatory

Female | 1

Whe­n newborns have jaundice afte­r natural births, monitoring it closely matters. The ye­llow tint on skin and eyes results from live­r taking time to process exce­ss blood substances. NICU care may be re­quired to check and restore­ normal levels. Special light tre­atments usually resolve this soon.

My child has slow development of brain. Not socializing and can not make friends

Male | 15

Children de­velop differently, some­ take more time than othe­rs. Your child's social struggles may indicate delaye­d brain growth. Delays appear as learning difficultie­s, atypical behavior, or communication troubles. Multiple factors contribute­: genetics, birth issues, e­arly experience­s. A specialist can help with tailored the­rapies and support. Creating an encouraging home­ and promoting social activities aids progress.
