The main reason for the baby's lymph nodes

It is quite common for babies to have lymph nodes. The baby's immunity is relatively imperfect, and they are easily invaded by external bacteria and viruses. At this time, the lymphatic system in the body will work, which can easily cause swollen lymph nodes. For example, when there is an upper respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis, and when the child has dental caries and other symptoms, it may cause swollen lymph nodes. At this time, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in time, and emphasis should be placed on nourishment at ordinary times.

The main reason for the baby's lymph nodes

1. The baby suffers from respiratory tract infections and other diseases. If the baby often suffers from respiratory tract infections and other diseases, the lymph nodes in the body will proliferate faster under the stimulation of inflammation.

2. After the vaccine is injected, the body will have a certain reaction, especially the immune system, which may also stimulate the proliferation of lymph nodes.

What kind of lymph nodes should be watched out for? The lymph nodes are adhered to each other like beads; accompanied by long-term irregular fever, sweating, weight loss, lack of energy and other symptoms; the lymph nodes are enlarged larger than soybeans, have a hard texture and poor mobility; the lymph nodes rapidly increase in size in a short period of time (1-2 weeks) and are painful.

Is it normal for babies to have this type of lymph nodes? Lymph nodes are a component of the human lymphatic system, which is an important defense system of the human body. It can produce white blood cells and antibodies, filter out pathogens, participate in immune responses, and also plays an important role in the distribution of fluids and nutrients in the body. The lymph nodes have the function of filtering microorganisms, so bacteria will become inflamed and swollen when they are present. The lymphatic system develops most vigorously during infancy and childhood. As the immune system continues to strengthen, the lymph nodes, as part of the immune system, will also slowly proliferate. Therefore, parents will often feel single, soft or slightly hard, non-tender lymph nodes ranging in size from mung beans to soybeans in the superficial areas of the baby's neck, under the jaw, behind the occipital bone, in front of the ears, and in the groin. Generally speaking, lymph node hyperplasia will continue until the child is about 10-12 years old, and it becomes less common after puberty. This is why babies are more likely to develop lymph nodes than adults.

Foods to eat for lymph node disease

1. Eat light food and drink plenty of water, especially boiled water, instead of replacing water with beverages;

2. You can eat some nourishing foods, such as lean meat, chicken soup, fish soup or pigeon soup, to supplement nutrients and protein;

3. Eat more fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. Note that seasonal fruits are best. Try to eat less off-season fruits, such as watermelon in winter.

4. When choosing fruits and vegetables, eat more those rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, such as apples, tomatoes, oranges, bananas, carrots, pumpkins, etc.
