There is a small lump a size of a small marble on my babys under the chin in the lower part just before the throat i think.. i just notice yesterday that its kinda red then its has a dot of some kinda white on the top..  and she sometimes poke it..  shes turnin 2yrs old this november.. When she was a month old baby back then she got a problem like that in the same area tshe was been confined a couple of weeks to get examine they said that its like neck mass so they run a few more test like biopsy etc. and the result was it has a abscess come from sort of boil. They drain the abscess then after that we finally got home.. but the lump was there it never gone.. the years went by but its ok.. now its kinda red and itchy i think..
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your baby may have enlarged submandibular lymph node.  It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or acute abscess formation.  It may be siledenitis of submandibular salivary gland.  He should take a course of antibiotics.  If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
