However when he was off color I did notice this node to be more prominent. I have now noticed this node to be swollen all the time now have blood tests for him next week.

My 5 year old son has a knot a little larger than a marble on the size of his neck. It doesn't seem to bother him and hasn't complained about it. He is very active. I took him in for a physical for school and they told me probably just swollen lymph node. That has been about 6 weeks ago and it is still there. Should I get some antibiotics?

Question Category : Enlarged Lymphnodes
I took my 2 mo. old son to the doctor because his lymph nodes have been swollen for the past 7 weeks despite the fact that he was placed on medication when he was 4 weeks old. The answer I was given I am very unsure of. I was told that the original cause of the swelling was and would always be unknown but that him having cradle cap us causing to remain swollen. He does have a very light case of cradle cap, but could this cause 5 lymph nodes to be so swollen that you can see them? Do you feel like I should take his to a different doctor just to make sure because no lab or any other test was done to reach this answer? Check Out the Answer
