How To Treat Swollen Lymph Node In Chest Of Five Years Old?
My granddaughter, age five years has one swollen lymph node, located in the chest area. An x-ray shows the enlargement and an ultra sound has been ordered. She has no other symptoms, such as weight loss, paleness, etc. She has, however, had a viral infection within the last month. Help? we are worried.
