HELP, my 4 year old daughter had the cold and we realised that she had  a swollen gland on neck my parents took her to the doctor and she could not see any infection but give her antibotics for 2 weeks. I was really concerned and took her to the doctor that night and he said she had a swollen tonsils. Her antibotics are nearly finished and thank god it has started to go down but I am still really concered. ANy help is welcomed.

Hi its normal for children to have swollen lymph nodes. You did the right thing to take her to a doctor. The fact that it is goigng down is good.

Just keep her on the antibiotics and she should be just fine. She might have irritated her tonsils with all her coughing, and caused an inflammation in the throat.
