Enlarged lymph node

2025-02-22 07:33:34
My 4 month-old baby has an enlarged lymph node behind his ear since he was 1.5 months old and in the groin. The lymph node does not bother him in any way and is not visible, you can only feel it. Our pediatrician said that it is not scary. Is it dangerous to have enlarged lymph nodes? How long can a lymph node be enlarged?
