A member asked:

My 4yr old son has had a swollen lymph node in his neck from 1.5yrs. it's not growing or painful,but always visible. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See pediatrician: Please take your child to the pediatrician to have an examination and measurement of the node. Better to be safe than sorry. Biopsy if suspicious. Best wishes.
