Can teething cause swollem lymph nodes?

Yes: Occasionally with a high degree of inflammation, a child can develop swollen lymph nodes on the side where the teething is occurring. Gently cleanse the teething area with a q-tip dipped in 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 water 2-4 time daily.

Yes, but: Swollen lymph nodes can occur with teething, but it is not the most common symptom during teething. The swollen nodes might mean your child is coming down with some other type of infection. Monitor your child's temperature closely and encourage fluids.

Unlikely: Possible but unlikely. Swollen lymph nodes are more often associated with infection. If you notice anything that concerns you see your childs md.
