What to do with the occipital lymph nodes

(1) When you discover swollen lymph nodes, you should first observe the baby's overall condition, and also check whether the baby's behavior has changed and whether the lymph nodes continue to grow. If the baby is in good general condition, active, not feverish, has a good appetite, is gaining weight, and has a normal complexion, then you can rest assured.

(2) Check the location and size of the lymph nodes, whether they can be moved, and whether they are painful when pressed. If the swollen lymph nodes are limited to the occipital area, behind the ears, neck, and under the jaw, and can move without tenderness, and are initially found to be caused by a cold or abscesses nearby, the lymph nodes are not very large, although they may increase in number.

(3) If the lymph nodes continue to enlarge, you should measure them several times a day to see if you have a low fever and if your overall condition, such as your spirit or appetite, has changed. If there are changes and your weight is not increasing or has even decreased, you should consult a doctor.
