Hello doctor. From 1 year ago, in the nape of his neck appeared a lymph node, touching the lymph node is as hard as bone and quite big. When I bent down, I could see very clearly because the lymph nodes were raised. I have never had pain or redness, but the lymph nodes are getting bigger and bigger. I don't know what disease I have, but I don't want to go to the doctor because this is a dangerous disease. Did the doctor tell you what this symptom is? Is it dangerous? Can it be cured? I look forward to receiving advice from the doctor. Thank you.

Hello. I have 1 lymph node and it's been a year and it hasn't changed, hopefully it's benign. However, you need to take him to see a Pediatric Surgery specialist, after the examination, he will be able to advise you!
