Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand. As per your complaint clusters of swollen lymph nodes in neck can be most probably due to infection and as toddlers does not have a completely developed immunity they are more prone to infections. You should get it confirmed by consulting a Pediatrician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis. You can also be advised to get investigations done like x-ray or MRI of the gland and treatment can be planned accordingly. As of now you can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the swelling and give Tylenol for pain. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
