My soon to be 3 year old has swollen lymph nodes in

Sent to Health Experts July 25 09:36 AM

My soon to be 3 year old has swollen lymph nodes in her groin on both sides. She has had no recent infections.   She has had a problem putting weight on since she was born but they did blood work to make sure she is using nutrients properly and that was normal. Should I be concerned? I figured I'd wait until her checkup at the end of September to talk to the doctor about the lymph nodes. Should I contact them sooner or should I just continue to monitor the swelling?

Hello,

I believe that you should contact your doctor instead of waiting till September. Swollen lymph nodes can be due to many causes. See here for some of them:

It is better to get your doctor to do check up and start an early treatment if necessary.

I hope this helps.
