Lymph nodes are the most important organs of the immune system. They are the first to meet almost all foreign agents on their way and try to prevent their penetration into the human body.
Instructions
Step 1
It is quite natural that the lymph nodes are sensitive to many internal and external aggressive factors. Moreover, the increase in these organs is the most natural reaction to such an impact. Lymph nodes are located in small groups throughout the human body, but in healthy people they can be felt in no more than 3 groups in the form of small soft balls (cervical, axillary, inguinal).
Step 2
An increase in the size of lymph nodes (usually cervical) is often found in childhood. The reasons can be very different: numerous infectious diseases, allergic reactions, metabolic disorders, unfavorable environmental conditions, blood diseases, parasites, quality and nature of nutrition, and more. Children often suffer from various negative influences, since their immune system is only being formed and cannot adequately respond to negative influences from the outside.
Step 3
To search for the causes of enlarged lymph nodes in a child, begin with a consultation with a pediatrician, as well as clinical analyzes of urine and feces. In cases of incomprehensible or unusual local growth of lymph nodes, a thorough and detailed examination of the baby's condition is necessary. Remember that enlarged lymph nodes are not an independent disease, but a separate symptom. Therefore, all efforts must be focused on identifying the underlying disease and its treatment.
