Swollen lymph nodes under the armpit

The lymph nodes in the neck and armpits are the most likely to swell, but most cases of lymph node swelling are mild and will resolve on their own without treatment. However, when a baby has swollen lymph nodes, most of the time it will develop complications such as fever, so the baby's swollen lymph nodes are very serious in the eyes of parents. So how should we treat swollen lymph nodes under the arms of babies?

When the baby is younger, parents will be more careful when taking care of him or her. Sometimes they will check whether the child has any symptoms. If the child has a lump under the armpit, parents will inevitably be anxious, fearing that it is swollen lymph nodes. So, what should I do if my baby has swollen lymph nodes under his armpits?

If the skin of the lump has no abnormalities on the surface, feels hard and smooth, and is painless when pressed, and there is no night sweats, crying, and the feeding and bowel movements are normal. It could be "polyadrenitis in children", which is caused by bacteria. Parents should observe the growth rate of the lymph nodes. If they grow slowly and do not become festering, they will slowly heal themselves. If the growth rate is too fast and antibiotics are ineffective, you must go to the hospital for a biopsy to rule out lymphosarcoma and Hodgkin's disease. This situation may also occur if the baby has been scratched by a cat for a period of time. It is caused by Bartonella bacteria.

If the lymph nodes continue to grow, you should take your temperature several times a day to see if you have a low fever and any changes in your overall condition, such as your spirit or appetite. If there are changes and your weight does not increase or even decreases, you should see a doctor. Pay attention to increasing your baby's nutrition, strengthening his physical fitness, and preventing colds or other infections. Let your baby rest in bed more, provide enhanced care, and keep the room clean and ventilated. Let your baby drink more water, and don't avoid oil or eggs, so as to avoid vitamin deficiency and malnutrition in your baby.

For young children with poor resistance, parents can encourage them to cough up blood appropriately to improve their immunity and avoid swollen lymph nodes. For children who suffer from recurrent colds, it is necessary to improve their immunity in a reasonable and scientific way. Old people usually believe that letting children eat more and eat more meat is good for their health.
