2 years old with swollen glands/lymph nodes???

I took my little boy down to baby clinic this morning and ask the HV about a little lump in his neck that has been there for over a year its never botherd me or my LO up untill I asked a family member about it and they said its best to get it checked out!? Anyway I did they HV referred me to a doctor in the clinic at the tym .. He checked his weight and how he was and all was fine weight and he's being himself .. He also check other areas . And found two little pea size lumps each side of his groin to whicj I never knew they was there I was only aware of the 1 on his neck.. Neway the doctor said they feel fine like normal glands in a baby and I've gotta go back next month just for a quick check up on them to see if they have grown .. The 1 in his neck haven't grown as long as I've been aware of it.. So have any of you mums had this type of thing happen to your LO's I don't want to google really so came on here for a bit of advice.. Thankyou X

Thanks for your reply.. So in some ppl they can be felt? The 1 on his neck haven't grown in the whole time I've known it to be there it oves baout freely as the doctor pointed it it wudnt move if it was anything serious I just hope it disssapears soon as its been there a while I'm not sure about the 1's in his groin as I never knew he had them there

Yep it's perfectly normal for some people to be able to feel them. Mine also moves around freely and doesn't hurt. It's just the same as sone people who have lumps in there bust caused by glands they don't go. X

When I was 14 I thought something was wrong because I felt little lumps up my neck, in my groin, etc.

I had never even tried feeling them before, so I can't say whether they've always been like that, but I am guessing they have. Anyway, upon mentioning it to a doctor they put me through SOOOO many tests. Turns out that nothing was wrong, and they pretty much knew that, but guess what? They got paid A LOT of money for those tests from the insurance company.

Go figure.

Anyway, I had no symptoms of any illness. They weren't sore, and they weren't very large at all (about pea sized). I can still feel them to this day!

I second this. Do NOT Google!!!!!!

When I looked it up, I convinced myself I had lymphoma or something like that. And I certainly did not.... but it made me crazy and a hypochondriac! I have since learned NOT to Google!
