Hi,
It is only a one sided lymphadenopathy. If the size is small, about 1x2 cms, observe for any increase in swelling. Watch it. If the size is around 2x2 cms, it needs evaluation. Persistent swelling for 1 year needs evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
