Lymph nodes behind the ears

Nowadays, many parents are more concerned about their children's physical changes and health. They always think that some physical symptoms are bad. For example, if they cough, they will worry whether they have a cold. If they feel lymph nodes behind their ears, they will worry whether they have tumors or cysts. In fact, lymph nodes are not a bad thing. Here is some common knowledge about lymph nodes.

There are lymph nodes behind the baby's ears

1. Many parents focus on these lymph nodes and try every means to remove them.

2. Some common sense about lymph nodes: - Lymph nodes are the "immune organs" of the human body. If the human body is regarded as a "country", the human immune system is the "army" of a country, protecting the human body from invasion by all pathogens. This lymph node is the army's "frontline sentinel". When a human organ is infected, inflamed or mutated, this "frontline sentinel" will be the first to sound the alarm and "respond", "intercept" and "deal with" the invading pathogens to ensure that the pathogens do not "directly enter the human blood" and cause damage to the whole body.

The human body's lymph nodes are distributed in the "soft tissues" of the whole body, including the creases of each joint, peritoneum, neck, armpits, etc., which "monitor" the tissues under their jurisdiction. --Therefore, when a part of the human body's tissue is infected, the lymph nodes under its jurisdiction will become swollen and painful, and in severe cases, they may even become festered due to the large amount of infection.

In fact, everyone has had this experience: when your leg is injured, the skin is damaged or infected, you will feel "pain" at the back and lateral roots of your knee joint. In fact, it is the bacteria in these lymph nodes that invade the injured area, causing inflammation there. --When the tissues near the lymph nodes are symptomatic, the pain in the lymph nodes will also disappear, but it will not disappear so quickly, but will disappear slowly.

3. Back to the question you asked: swollen lymph nodes under the ears. --The lymph nodes in this area are called "post-auricular lymph nodes", which mainly govern tissues such as the mouth, gums, throat, tonsils, nose, eyes, and head. --When there is infection or inflammation in the above areas, the lymph nodes behind the ears will swell. --Therefore, swollen lymph nodes behind the ears may indicate infection or inflammation in the throat, tonsils, gums, eyes, skin of the head and face, etc. --Therefore, as long as the cause of swollen lymph nodes is treated, the lymph nodes can be restored to normal. --Take a look and see if you have inflammation in your tonsils or throat. Treating these inflammations can make the lymph nodes subside and return to normal.
