7 y.o has lymph nodes to back of neck, enlarged since age 2. doesn't hurt, not red, moves under skin. child is thin but no wt. loss. need work up?

Needs follow up.: Cervical lymph nodes (in the neck) are common in children. They can persist for very long periods of time. Most important is that your pediatrician knows about them and re-examines them periodically (remind him or her from time to time). They can be removed surgically or biopsied but this is not usually necessary.
