Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes On Neck
my friend has a son( 4 years old) and he has swollen lymph nodes in neck(right side) size of a marble, shoulder (left side), groin area(right side). there is no pain ,no infection no fever and no fatigue. was on antibiotics but no change. i am sure that the neck one increased in size. could there be a correlation to high sugar diet and swollen lymph nodes. the child has a horrible diet. virtually no vegetables to speak of. please settle our argument.

Hi...coming to your queries directly -
1. There is no relation to high sugar diet and swollen lymph nodes.
2. Diet is not related to this.
But I want to suggest one thing - the kid definitely needs evaluation.
The possibilities are -
1. Prolonged viral illness.
2. Coxsackie or EB viral infection.
3. Kikuchis' disease.
4. Lymphoreticular malignancy
