A member asked:
Why would a lymph node be swollen above a childs eye, by the eyebrows?

No eyelid nodes: There are no lymph nodes above our eyes. Your child probably has either a stye or a chalazion. The latter is a chronic infection in one of the eyelid glands, causing painless focal swelling that persists despite drops and warm compresses.

See ophthalmologist: This may not be a lymph node. I would check with an ophthalmologist.
