my four year old son has a lump on the left side of his neck that is now protruding when he turns his head. His pediatrician noticed it about 2 months ago at his check up and said to call if it gets bigger. It is bigger now to the point where I can see it without touching it. He is normal weight and a basically healthy kid. He has been sweating a lot lately at night and has an itchy rash on his stomach.
Hi, Dear,Good evening. Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in depth. In my opinion the lump in the neck of your 2 yr son is mostly due to Hodgkin/ or NH- lymphoma as its painless, growing and with nights wets, itchy rash on abdomen indicate shingle? Or herpes zoster? Or viral infection. Treatment -a-Consult a Pediatrician, b-start specific treatment after FNAC-biopsy- which would fix HL or NHL. Vitamin SYR, Steroids/ and anti-cancer regimes as advised from onco-physican-as guided after FNAC -Biopsy report would help your sons lump to regress. Hope this answers your query. Hope this would clarify the worry you had. Would love to Welcome your queries to Chat Doctor.
