How big?: Although enlarge glands are not uncommon among young children, if the node is much larger than a buck- shot size , ask your doctor if he needs a biopsy even if the blood work was normal. The dark circles under the eyes suggests that he may have nasal obstruction often caused by allergies.

Mgt: I hope that he has had a TB test and consultation with an ENT specialist. They can perform a biopsy as indicated. Other testing can also be performed at that time, including cultures. If he has had any animal bites or scratches, please let your PCP know.

See your doctor: A small persistent lymph node is common in small children. Larger or growing lymph nodes may be of concern. Repeating lab tests, physical exam by the same doctor is important.
