My 6 Yr Old Has Lump In the Side of His Neck .... Posted: 08-07-07 11:53am
Like I mentioned, my 6 yr. old son has a
lump about the size of a lima bean that is
hard on the side of his neck. Just below
is right ear. I noticed it before about 6
months ago and it was the size of a pea,
you could say it has grown. My son has not
been sick in any way, not a cough or cold.
He does breath really deeply and he snores
really bad. He is going to see the doctor
tomorrow,but I would like to know what to
say and wondering what this might be
Thanks AManda
BTW: the lump is NOT soft to the touch it
does feel hard....

node. That is were a lymph node is. You
should get it checked.
