What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck?
My 4 year old has multiple swollen glands on neck even on the back portion of his head. Had him to doctor almost a week ago & had strep test done but have not gotten any results back yet. He continues to have more glands on side of neck swelling. Doctor seemed not concerned & told us to give ibuprofen. I m concerned that it s not getting any better! I ve never heard of glands on back of head swelling.
