Swollen lymph nodes in dd's neck??

[nikkiARNGwife]

I know it's hard not to worry..but swollen lymph nodes are very common. When I was in college I got very sick with a virus and was in the hospital for a week..the lymph nodes in my neck swelled to the size of golf balls. One never did go back down all the way (its about the size of a pea now) and I can still feel it in my neck..sometimes it swells a little when I have a bug or something.

Last summer I had one pop up big and sore on the back of my head (I didn't even know there were lymph nodes on the head) and I freaked and went to the doctor..he said it was a lymph node, it was fine and the littlest things sometimes (even a pimple) can make them swell.

{{hugs}} it's our jobs as mothers to worry... but like Marie and Nikki mentioned, it's common... there are lymph nodes all over the place and even though she hasn't been out right sick, she could have been still fighting something.

I had an enlarged lymph node removed from my neck, it was nothing, but I didn't want it there. My dad was very prone to them as well, even on his face.

I'm a worrier too but I'll agree with the others, it is common and can be caused by a multitude of things that aren't horrible. I'll be thinking of you two, I know the waiting is so hard.

I'm another of the peeps who gets swollen nodes during allergy season. Humid days after a rain-like today-will make them worse and I also get ear pain. Hang in there and hugs.

((Hugs)) I don't know much about swollen lymph nodes but do know it's a mom's job to always worry and that will never stop, even after the doctors tell us not to worry!!!! I'm praying for good results...hang in there!!!
