Both my daughters have lumps on their necks

[lele1980]

I have a 5 1/2 year daughter and a 7 month old daughter. I first discovered lumps on both sides of my 5 year old when she was about 3 1/2. I had them looked at and the doctor just said they were swollen lympnodes and that they would go away. A year and a half later, they are still there. Also when my 7 month old was only 3 months, I nocticed a lump in almost the same spot as her older sister.  They are about the size of a pea and move when you push on them. My 5 year old says that it doesn't hurt when touched. I am still not happy with the answer the doctor keeps giving me.  Should I get a second opinion?

Mine son has it to and I think I had the same answer from the Dr. It could also be a phatty cyst. No wories, the Dr said it is ok and not in a bad place. My daughter has one above her eye brow and was removed when she was an infant. Ofcourse you can always go and get a second opinion.

They do sound like Lymph nodes, feel your own they do move,I have always found that if you are worrying about something especially with kids health find out all you can ask questions, yes if you are not Happy with the Docs answer go to someone else.Are the Kids well in every other way is their health good , have they other symptoms?.
