A member asked:
My grand, bella was 7 in jan. for over 6months, she has had multiple lymph node swelling in neck,path showed follicular hyperplasia, what is cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph node swelling: Lymph nodes are where the immune cells of the body process all the stimuli from various infectious and other foreign stimuli in our environment. In children these are very active areas as so many things are "new" to them. It is natural for these to swell and then subside. Only persistent enlargement is a cause for concern due to infection that isn't cleared, or neoplasia.
