A member asked:

10 yr old daughter has pea sized hard knot on back of head and has been also complaining of headaches. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? association?: The pea sized knot is probably a normal lymph node and likely has nothing to do with the headaches. Headaches are common and often triggered by lifestyle. At that age, stress, lack of adequate sleep, diet, lack of exercise and illness are common contributers.
