Lump in baby's neck

[linz]

I noticed awhile ago that DS has 2 tiny lumps on the left side of his neck. I felt them the other day and they're still there, same size. Dr Google tells me it's common and pry cysts that will go away. Anything I should be concerned about or call the dr for? He won't go back in until July 12 for 9 month appt.

DD had what you were describing and they were cysts. They were gone by a year. But when we felt then I went right to the doctor. It's probably nothing, but I know I'd worry the whole time until the next appointment.

Just go to the doctor. Make everyone feel better or get the treatment ASAP.

G had these, but they were on both sides. I've asked the doc about them at 2 separate visits and she said it's fine. I want to say she said they were muscles (tendons?) but am having trouble remembering.

At any rate, if you're concerned you should call and get their advice.

I would go in. It's probably fine, but on the off chance it's not getting treated sooner rather than later is important. It will also give your doctor a baseline to compare at the next well visit.

I would call. DD had one on her leg that eventually went away, but i wanted it documented and watched.

I would go in. No harm in doing so.

DD had these pretty recently. DH asked about it at her 2 year check up. Doctor wasn't concerned and said they were just glands or a cyst or something else that wasn't worrisome (horrible mom here as I don't even remember what they were!). If it makes you feel better go it, but don't work yourself up beforehand. It's most likely nothing and as you can tell from the replies here it's pretty normal.

Inflamed lymph nodes? Lymph nodes can become inflamed when fighting off infection. Did had this in her groin last year. I was freaking out that she had a tumor. I called the pediatrician in a panic and was seen that day.
