Detailed explanation-1: -Swollen lymph nodes usually occur as a result of infection from bacteria or viruses. Rarely, swollen lymph nodes are caused by cancer. Your lymph nodes, also called lymph glands, play a vital role in your body’s ability to fight off infections.
Detailed explanation-2: -The swelling in these pea-or bean-sized lymph nodes are one of your body’s natural reactions to illness or infection. Swollen lymph nodes mean your body’s immune system is working to clear away infection and/or invading viruses or bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -When lymph nodes become infected, they usually increase in size, become sore, and may be felt in other areas of your body during a physical exam. Infections that spread to lymph nodes are usually caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus.
Detailed explanation-4: -What to Expect: Once on antibiotics, your child will get better in 2 or 3 days. After the infection is gone, the node will slowly return to normal size. This may take 4 to 6 weeks.
