What Causes Lump In Side, Night Sweats And Tiredness?
Hello...my daughter is coming up to 3 years old and has had a lump on the side of her next for almost 2 years....it seems to always be there, perhaps more noticeable with colds but recently she has been complaining of being tired (she is very busy) and has had night sweats for the last 3 months on and off. Have recently tried cooling down baths and ensuring her diet is a bit more varied to combat the tiredness. Shall see if this has any effect. Doctors have only mentioned lymph gland swelling in relation to infection...is this all it is...? Please would value any help/suggestions, thank you

it looks like lymph node swelling
it can be due to infection anywhere in head, neck, mouth
this child should be given antibiotic(amoxicillin) for 7 days
if size decreases then ni worries
if it does not then u have to investigate for tuberculosis
