Yesterday I noticed that my almost 1 year old has an almost marble sized hard lump under his chin. It is hard to tell if it hurts him because he has a double chin so you have to hold him down to see it and he cries but not sure if it because it actually hurts or if he just doesnt like it. He has been as happy as ever, sleeping well and eating fine. Do I need to take him in to the doctor? What could it be?
HI, Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to Chat Doctor.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion, your 1 yr child most probably has an infective hard painful lump, and would need treatment with pediatric and surgeon doctor both, 3-Before that please give him NSAID syrup, if it gets reduced, then it's good, 3-a-but if it increases, then antibiotics' syrup under pediatric cover would help him out, 3-b-if not then surgeon would be need to treat it surgically as need be.4-Hope this would solve your query .5-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!
