Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Lymph nodes are in the back of the neck and if they are pea size... that is normal. If they start feeling like a round like a quarter... they are enlarged. Lymph nodes COMMONLY enlarge in children.... They commonly enlarge with episodes too... and usually return to normal size. My son's lymph nodes in the posterior neck are commonly enlarged. Lymph nodes are in other areas... like in front of neck and in the groin and under the arm-pits.... They can enlarge of course with as well as signal infection of some sort.... MANY MANY reasons... Nothing to alarm anyone! Just let the pediatrician know... so they can follow up if needed!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Oh, ok...thanks for clearing that up. I guess I have just never felt them before. It just seemed like yesterday they were really standing out. Maybe he isn't about to have an episode. Ugh. I hate wishing it would happen but it would just be nice for it to happen at a consistent time so we can plan things around it.
