Abstract

The majority of the time, swollen lymph nodes are a sign that your body is battling a virus or bacterial infection. Immune cells, viruses or bacteria, and fluid fill the nodes, increasing their size. Rarely, other, graver diseases can also result in swollen lymph nodes. Lymphadenopathy is fairly typical. Typically, it is not clinically significant in and of itself. However, it might indicate a serious underlying illness. For clinicians, the challenge is to avoid aggressive examination and biopsy of the majority of children while providing prompt, accurate for kids with serious underlying diseases. Lymphadenopathy is the term for swollen glands or swelling of the lymph nodes. The lymph glands are part of the immune system and help fight infections and other disease. They are enlarged when the body is fighting infection or other diseases. In children its to be able to feel some lymph nodes small, movable lumps under the skin. But if the nodes get bigger than usual, your child may have an infection or other problem. In most cases, lymphadenitis clears up quickly with proper treatment but it may take more time for lymph nodes swelling to go away. Be sure to let your healthcare provider know if your lymphadenitis symptoms come back. The most common treatment for swollen lymph nodes caused by a bacterial infection is antibiotics.
