Parents also have a doctor.
◘ Enlarged Lymph Nodes and Lymphadenitis in the Neck
● There are several lymph nodes in the neck. One or more of these may become enlarged, or the lymph nodes may become infected with pathogens such as bacteria or viruses, resulting in lymph node infections (see Figures 1-13, 1-00, 1-00 on pages 00-00).
● Lymph nodes can be found anywhere in the body, except within the cranial cavity and the heart.
● Lymph nodes are round lymphatic tissues, the size of a soybean. Lymph nodes:
● process dead cells, bacteria, viruses, and body waste in the blood and excrete them back into the bloodstream;
● absorb and excrete proteins;
● produce antibodies;
● produce lymphocytes.
● In other words, they filter out useless white blood cells and also produce immune cells.
● They have an infectious disease defense function, preventing viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that invade other parts of the body from spreading further.
● The adenoids and tonsils also play a defensive role, preventing foreign substances (antigens) that can cause allergies from entering other parts of the body through the nostrils and mouth.
● Of the many lymph nodes scattered throughout the body, those in and around the neck are more prone to bacterial infections, swelling, and infection than those in other parts of the body.
● Lymph nodes in the armpits and groin are also more prone to enlargement and infection. ● The following explains the causes and symptoms of cervical lymphadenitis and lymphadenitis.
■ Causes of cervical lymphadenitis and lymphadenitis
● When group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, tuberculosis bacteria, various viruses, or fungi infect the pharynx or tonsils, or when these pathogens directly infect the cervical lymph nodes, the cervical lymph nodes can become enlarged or swollen.
[Parents Should Become Half-Doctors Too – Pediatric Family Nursing Encyclopedia] – Volume 8, Respiratory Diseases in Children and Adolescents – Infectious Diseases Caused by Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococci.
● When bacterial toxins produced by bacteria that cause digestive, respiratory, and upper respiratory diseases, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pharyngotonsillitis, and stomatitis, travel through the lymphatic vessels of the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity to the cervical lymph nodes, the cervical lymph nodes may react and swell secondary to the infection.
● When harmful allergens that can cause allergic diseases pass through the mouth, nose, or pharynx and enter the body further, the adenoids, tonsils, lymph nodes in the neck, and other parts of the body may react and swell.
● When infectious mononucleosis or other types of viral infections occur in the upper respiratory tract, lymph nodes in the neck or other parts of the body may swell.
● When you have a rash, atopic dermatitis, or seborrheic dermatitis on your face, behind your ears, or scalp, or when you get an insect bite in these areas, the lymph nodes around them may swell and become inflamed.
● When you have leukemia, malignant white blood cells or cancer cells from a malignant tumor elsewhere in the body metastasize to the lymph nodes in the neck, causing them to swell.
● When cat-scratch disease (cat scratch disease) is present, the bacteria that cause cat scratch disease can infect the lymph nodes in the neck, groin, or armpit, causing them to swell or become inflamed (see [Parents Should Become Doctors Too – Pediatric Family Nursing Encyclopedia] – Vol. 1 Pediatric and Adolescent Emergency Medical Care – Cat Bites or Scratches, Cat Scratch Disease).
● When allergic rhinitis is present, the adenoids, tonsils, and lymph nodes in the neck can swell.
● Non-infectious diseases such as Kawasaki disease can cause cervical lymph node swelling.
▴ Photo 2-1. A lymph node in the right neck is swollen due to cat scratch disease. Group A bacterial tonsillitis or pharyngitis can cause cervical lymph nodes to swell, as shown in the photo.

■ Signs and Symptoms of Cervical Lymph Node Enlargement and Lymphadenitis
● Signs and symptoms vary depending on the location and severity of the lymph node swelling, the presence or absence of complications, whether the lymph node is merely swollen or swollen and inflamed, and the cause of the lymphadenitis or lymphadenitis.
● A normal lymph node in the neck of a healthy child without any other illness is about the size of a soybean.
● Some lymph nodes, normally located just beneath the skin, may bulge upward, pushing the skin layer upward and becoming easily visible (see Photo 1-14).
● When lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin become enlarged and swollen, they can be easily seen, palpated, and even painful (see Photos 2-1 and 2-2).
● In some cases, lymph nodes may be as large as a chestnut but not painful to the touch.
● Generally, swollen lymph nodes caused by viral infections are not painful to the touch or significantly enlarged.
● When bacteria directly infect the lymph nodes in the neck and cause them to swell, the patient typically experiences body aches, fever, redness of the skin directly over the swollen nodes, and intense pain when touched.
● If lymphadenitis caused by bacterial infection is not properly treated early, the lymph nodes may become increasingly swollen and swollen, filling with pus.
● When suffering from tonsillitis or pharyngotonsillitis caused by Group A streptococci, the bacterial toxin spreads to the cervical lymph nodes under the jaw, causing significant swelling and pain.
■ Diagnosis of Cervical Lymph Node Enlargement and Lymphadenitis
● A diagnosis can be made based on a comprehensive review of medical history, symptoms, signs, and physical examination findings.
● When the toxin produced by Group A streptococci, which cause tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or pharyngotonsillitis, spreads to the lymph nodes in the neck, the lymph nodes can swell. Alternatively, the bacteria can directly infect the cervical lymph nodes, causing them to swell or become inflamed.
● A definitive diagnosis can be made by collecting a small amount of mucus from the pharyngeal mucosa and performing a bacterial culture test for Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, performing an antigen and antibody agglutination test, or obtaining pus from an inflamed lymph node for a bacterial culture. ● When otovirus pharyngotonsillitis (infectious mononucleosis) is present, the lymph nodes in the neck, liver, and spleen may swell simultaneously.
● Infectious mononucleosis can be diagnosed with a mono test, a complete blood count (CBC) blood test, and liver function tests.
● [Parents Should Become Half-Doctors Too – Pediatric Family Nursing Encyclopedia] – Volume 8, Pediatric and Adolescent Respiratory Diseases – Infectious Mononucleosis, see Infectious Mononucleosis.
● When cervical lymph nodes are swollen or inflamed due to tuberculosis infection, a tuberculin skin test, a chest X-ray, pus collection from the inflamed lymph node for bacterial testing for tuberculosis, or a lymph node biopsy for removal of the entire inflamed lymph node are performed for diagnosis and treatment.
▴ Figure 2-3. If cervical lymph nodes are swollen, a bacterial culture test for Group A bacteria on pharyngeal mucus can indirectly diagnose pharyngitis as being caused by Group A bacteria infection and the cervical lymph nodes as being swollen due to the bacterioxins of the same group A bacteria causing the pharyngitis. The upper image shows a positive bacterial culture, while the lower image shows a negative result.
Copyright ⓒ 2012 John Sangwon Lee, MD, FAAP
▴ Figure 2-4. Swollen cervical lymph nodes can be diagnosed by agglutination of pharyngeal mucus with Group A bacterial antigens. This can provide a presumptive diagnosis of pharyngitis caused by Group A bacteria infection, and the cervical lymph nodes are swollen due to the bacterioxins of the same Group A bacteria causing the pharyngitis.

▴ Figure 2-5. If cervical lymph node swelling, fever, and the cause of the swollen lymph nodes are unknown, a blood bacterial culture test can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Copyright ⓒ 2012 John Sangwon Lee, MD, FAAP
▴ Figure 2-6. Tuberculosis bacteria can cause swollen and inflamed cervical lymph nodes. Tuberculous lymphadenitis can be diagnosed using the TB Tine test or the PPD test. Copyright ⓒ 2012 John Sangwon Lee, MD, FAAP
● When lymph nodes swell or become inflamed due to mycobacterium tuberculosis, pus is collected from the lymph node for bacterial testing or a biopsy, and blood tests for mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens and antibodies are used to diagnose mycobacterium tuberculosis.
● Even with these various diagnostic methods, the cause of cervical lymph node swelling or inflammation cannot be clearly identified.
● Sometimes, these tests are performed simultaneously with appropriate antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, and the progression of the disease is monitored for about 10 days to arrive at a presumptive diagnosis and treatment is administered concurrently.
● In rare cases where the cervical lymph nodes become severely swollen and inflamed for unknown reasons, the lymph nodes can be surgically removed, and the tissue from the nodes can be examined and diagnosed.
● Furthermore, malignant white blood cells, such as cancer cells or leukemia, can metastasize to the lymph nodes, causing enlarged and swollen cervical lymph nodes. This condition can also be diagnosed through necessary blood tests and lymph node biopsies.
■ Treatment for Cervical Lymph Node Enlargement and Lymphadenitis
● Treatment varies depending on the cause, severity, and symptoms of lymphadenitis and lymphadenitis.
● If you have a high fever, swollen cervical lymph nodes, and severe pain, you should be admitted to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
● The ideal treatment involves identifying the cause of lymphadenitis or lymphadenitis, along with appropriate intravenous antibiotics.
● When cervical lymph nodes become inflamed, bacteria or other pathogens within the inflamed lymph nodes can easily spread to surrounding areas of the neck. Therefore, prompt treatment is essential.
● If bacteria infect wounds on the scalp or face, such as from scratches or insect bites, the wounds can become inflamed. ● When surrounding cervical lymph nodes swell, or when cervical lymph nodes enlarge due to viral upper respiratory tract infection or another viral infection, the swollen lymph nodes will naturally improve as the viral infection progresses.
● Swollen lymph nodes caused by infectious mononucleosis are not treated with antibiotics but will heal naturally.
● Cervical lymphadenitis caused by tuberculosis is effectively treated with anti-tuberculosis medications.
● When a lymph node is slightly swollen due to bacterial infection, it can be treated with antibiotics. For more severe cases, the swollen lymphadenitis can be surgically removed, draining the pus and treating it with antibiotics.
● Swollen lymph nodes or lymphadenitis caused by cat scratches can be treated with medications such as Bactrim, and in some cases, they will heal on their own.
● In rare cases, swollen lymphadenitis may require surgical removal of the entire swollen lymph node.
The following is an example of a Q&A from the online Pediatric and Adolescent Health Counseling service regarding “Lymphadenitis and fever that won’t go away.”
Q&A. Fever that won’t go away
My daughter had a pus-filled abscess under her chin at about 8 months of age, so we had to cut open the area and drain the pus. Although the abscess didn’t completely disappear, we continued antibiotics and completed the treatment.
She’s now 12 months old, and for some reason, her fever hasn’t gone away since last night. I’ve given her suppositories and syrup antipyretics, but it keeps going up and down.
Could this be due to a previous illness? There’s nothing else wrong. Please help.

Dear Park
● Hello. Thank you for your question.
● Ideally, diagnosis and treatment should be based on your child’s age and gender, past and present family medical history, symptoms and signs, physical examination findings, and the results of appropriate clinical tests. However, we will take the information you provided into consideration when answering your question. You said you had a pus-filled lump under your chin, so you “cut open that area and scraped the pus out.” It would be helpful to know why the pus formed, what caused it, and what bacterial infection caused it.
For example, lymphadenitis, abscesses, thyroglossal duct cystitis, tuberculous lymphadenitis, mycotic lymphadenitis, and fungal lymphadenitis can cause pus and boils in the neck.
Sometimes, these conditions are treated surgically by cutting open the lump, draining the pus, and administering antibiotics.
Please tell us more specifically what illness you had and what bacterial infection caused the pus to form under your chin.
There are many causes of fever.
Based on the information you’ve provided, we can’t determine the cause of your fever. If you have a fever, please seek immediate medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.

The following is an example of an online Pediatric and Adolescent Health Counseling Q&A regarding the question, “I think my lymph nodes are swollen in my neck.”
Q&A. I think my lymph nodes are swollen in my neck
Hello.
My child is a 14-month-old boy. He weighs 10.7 kg. I haven’t measured his height, but he was 77 cm tall. He seems to have grown a lot since then. Before, my neck seemed short, but now I can see it.
12 months ago, I had a cold for about a month. Just when I felt better, I caught it again, and again… The cold didn’t bother me with a runny nose or cough, but rather a high fever with swollen tonsils that lasted 3-4 days before subsiding. The doctor said it could be due to rapid growth and a weakened immune system. A blood test showed iron deficiency anemia, so I’m taking iron supplements.
They said it could be due to my high reliance on breast milk. The blood test showed no other problems, and it was iron deficiency anemia. I’m diligently feeding him solid foods.
About two weeks ago, my baby turned his head to the side, and I felt a lump on the side of his neck. I touched it, and there was something small and squishy.
I touched the other side, and it was also there, but I couldn’t see the other side when I turned my head. One side was bulging. I saw a photo in the Pediatric Home Nursing Encyclopedia…
It’s not that swollen… I’m worried… My child has atopic dermatitis on his neck, so I often apply Dermatop. Is that the problem? Or did it develop after a cold? Or is there another cause? He doesn’t feel any pain right now… Will it go away? Should I go to the hospital and get tested? I’m getting anxious.
Please answer, Doctor!! Will my child be okay?

● Hello. Thank you for your excellent question.
● The more detailed information you provide, such as your child’s age, gender, past medical history, family medical history, physical examination findings, and clinical tests, the better my answer will be, but I will answer based on the information you provided.
● Thank you for providing such detailed information, as if a pediatric intern at a hospital were observing and examining a patient and explaining it to the attending professor.
● In my opinion, it appears to be a normal-sized lymph node.
● There is information on p.00 titled “Enlarged Lymph Nodes in the Neck.” Please refer to it.
● Children with atopic dermatitis are prone to colds and sometimes develop asthma, allergic rhinitis, and other conditions. Furthermore, enlarged adenoids and tonsils, as well as enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, are common.
● If you have atopic dermatitis around the neck, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are also common.
● The lymph nodes in the neck:
● kill bacteria and other germs entering through the upper respiratory tract, such as the nasal and pharynx;
● filter waste products from the blood;
● filter antigens entering through the oral and upper respiratory tract;
● produce lymphocytes needed to fight pathogens;
● produce antibodies;
● and as a result, these lymph nodes become increasingly enlarged.
● This enlargement of lymph nodes is called reactive lymphadenopathy.
● If the problem persists, please consult a pediatrician for a diagnosis and advice.

● Volume 8 Respiratory Diseases in Children and Adolescents – Colds.
● Volume 15 Allergies and Immune Diseases in Children and Adolescents – Allergic Rhinitis.

The following is an example of a Q&A session for the online Pediatric and Adolescent Health Counseling service regarding “I can feel a lump in my child’s throat.”
Q&A. I can feel a lump in my child’s throat.
First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude for the existence of this site.
My daughter is a girl who is approaching 32 months of age.
Neither of us, her father nor I, is particularly healthy, with no other illnesses. To be more specific, I, as the mother, have a weak respiratory system, so I tend to catch colds whenever the seasons change. The child’s maternal grandmother is healthy except for mild hypotension. The child’s maternal grandfather has suffered from diabetes and hypertension for over 10 years, but his condition has improved to the point where he has little difficulty leading a normal life.
The child’s paternal grandmother is in good health after undergoing multiple surgeries for stomach cancer about 15 years ago. The paternal grandfather also has no other medical conditions except for mild hypertension.
The child was hospitalized for four days with laryngitis at around 15 months of age. He contracted enteritis from a child in the bed next to him. A week later, he was hospitalized for gastroenteritis at Gangnam St. Mary’s Hospital for a week. However, the child has had no other illnesses before or since, and has grown up healthily without any significant side effects after vaccinations.
Then, in early May, my child complained of a sore throat, and upon palpation, I felt a lump about 10mm in size on the left side of her neck. I visited a local pediatrician and was told it was lymphadenitis due to a cold. I was prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotics for three days, but there was no improvement. About two weeks later, I visited the hospital again, and they told me to wait and see if the lump grew or spread further.
At that time, the lump on the left side was still about 10mm, but I felt one 5mm lump and two or three 2-3mm lumps on the right side of her neck. I told the doctor, and he said the lump on the right side was nothing to worry about, and the lump on the left side was slightly larger but not large enough to warrant a blood test or biopsy. A week later, there was no improvement, so I visited Kangnam St. Mary’s Hospital in Seoul again, but I heard the same story.
I don’t know if I’m being impatient, but it’s been almost a month since my child’s lump was palpable, and despite multiple rounds of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, there’s been no significant improvement.
Before the lump was palpable, my child had no history of colds. She received a flu shot before the start of winter last year, the first dose of meningitis and hepatitis A in April of this year, and the third dose of encephalitis in early May.
My child is so mature for her age that when she’s sick, she comforts me, her surprised mother, and tells me she’s fine rather than admitting it. She’s also very patient. Since she was a newborn, she’s never cried or fussed over shots, and she’s been able to take her medicine on her own.
Sometimes, it’s so frustrating to see this child, so mature, that I worry that she might be enduring her own pain just because I’m worried. My child currently has a normal temperature, no cough, and other than the clogged pores, everything is fine, and he’s doing well in his life.
If you could advise me on what to do and how to do it, I’ll do my best. Please give me your advice.
I apologize for the length. Stay healthy.
To Kangwon
● Hello. Thank you for your question.
● Ideally, diagnosis and treatment should be based on the child’s age and gender, past and present family medical history, symptoms and signs, examination findings, and the results of appropriate clinical tests. However, I will take the information you provided into consideration when answering your question.
● There’s a saying:
● “Beautiful flowers bloom in a flowerbed, so it must have been planted and nurtured.”
● I wish you continued success as good mothers and fathers, and congratulations.
● I believe the doctors’ diagnosis and treatment are correct.
● However, if you’ll forgive me, I’ll add this one more thing.
● I, too, make mistakes when treating patients.
● When treating children with illnesses, there were many times when I wasn’t able to properly treat their parents.
● I think I understand the question you’re asking.
● Healthy children and adults normally have many lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin.
● Normal lymph nodes are about 2mm to 1cm in diameter and are round or oval in shape.
● After receiving this letter, gently feel the area under your chin or in your groin.
● You will feel lymph nodes here and there. They are all normal.
● When you have a cold or other viral infection, the lymph nodes may enlarge slightly due to reactive lymphadenopathy. Once the underlying illness has resolved, they will gradually return to normal size.
● I think you’re worried about normal lymph nodes.
● When lymph nodes become inflamed or have other problems, they can become larger, painful, and sometimes even contain pus.
● In your child’s case, they are exactly as measured. Children with atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, or other allergic conditions may have enlarged lymph nodes in their necks.
● These children often also have enlarged adenoids and tonsils.
● Occasionally, cervical lymph nodes may also be swollen with pharyngitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci.
● To diagnose this condition, a mucus swab may be taken from the pharyngeal mucosa and tested for Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci.
● However, the likelihood of your child having pharyngitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci appears to be very slim. Please wait a little longer, good mother!
● Please refer to Cervical Lymph Node Enlargement and Lymphadenitis (p. 00).
● If necessary, please consult a pediatrician for examination, diagnosis, treatment, and consultation.
● If you have any further questions, please contact us again.
● Thank you. Lee Sang-won
The following is an example of a Q&A from the online Pediatric and Adolescent Health Counseling service regarding “I have a lump in my neck, lymphadenitis.”
Q&A. I have a lump in my neck
My son is 7 years old (6 years, 4 months, and 1 week). The right side of his neck is swollen, about 2 cm in diameter. He says it hurts when touched, and I can feel a small, soft lump-like object. I’m afraid he might think it’s a serious illness, so I’m asking this question because I can’t go to the hospital right away. He’s been suffering from a cold lately. I hope it’s not too worrying, but I appreciate your prompt response, even though you’re busy.
A.
I have a lump
● Hello. I apologize for the delay in responding. I believe you already have the answer. I’m responding, even if it’s late. I apologize for the delay.
● When suffering from viral or bacterial upper respiratory tract infections, the lymph nodes in the neck may swell slightly and be tender to the touch.
● Group A beta-hemolytic bacteriococcal tonsillitis can cause even more swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck. ● Sometimes, cervical lymph nodes can become swollen due to bacterial infections, cystic fibrosis, tuberculous lymphadenitis, malignant tumors, or benign tumors.
● Please consult a pediatrician for a diagnosis and consultation regarding this issue.

It has been more than a century since the need for a Korean-language parenting information bible that can be easily accessed and read by anyone, anywhere, at any time, to promote health, which is one of the basic necessities of life for Korean men, women, and children in Korea and around the world. I think so.
If I have the time, I would like to give the entire Parenting Bible to every Korean family around the world.
If I have time, I would like to read the entire Parenting Bible aloud to my beloved Korean parents.
Of course, there may be some shortcomings. I am confident that if you raise your children while referring to other parenting bibles, they will grow up happily.
