[|Human|] My son is about 3 yr old. his weight is about 13 kg. My query is related to small swelling behind his ear which I have seen one year before. Is this swelling is normal? I have consulted with child specialist in the last month. According to the doctor it will be normal automatically with older age. Awaiting your suggestions please.
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Can understand your concerns. Small swelling behind ear for 1 year or so could be lymphadenitis, lymphadenopathy due to certain diseases like Hodgkin lymphoma. If the size of swelling is increasing or child has swelling on other body parts, then child should be investigated. In this case, FNAC test should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes, this lymph node swelling can be normal, and it subsides as the child grows. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor.
