Normal finding: This is not a chat room and your questions are sent randomly to site visitors. Lymph nodes are normal findings in kids and enlarge/shrink over a 3-4 week cycle in response to a variety of triggers.Local skin irritation, bug bites. vaccinations, infections etc.That is what they do, and there is no need to run off to a specialist.If concerned call/see the kids primary doc.
