2 of my kids have had small bumps under the skin on their necks and I panicked too but it turned out to be swollen lymph nodes and no big deal. It’s always good to check these things out ASAP though. I’m davening for you that it’s nothing.

I had something just like this and it turned out to be absolutely nothing!! Just water pockets that went away on their own.
I hope everything is ok with you as well.
Please keep us posted!

It could be swollen lymph nodes, which indicate inflammation in the body, and possibly an infection.
Just take him to the pediatrician and all with be ok BE"H.

Its hard to imagine but try to stay calm and focus on good thoughts. My son also had these in the side of his neck when he was little and Dr said was nothing. When he turned 10 I noticed they got bigger and harder. My Dr panicked and sent me everywhere. It turned out to be a small nothing he was born with . Don't worry. They will prob send you for testing but its fine. This is a test of emunah. I took upon myself to strengthen my emunah and all was fine.

They’re probably swollen lymph nodes due to infection.

My kid had it for a long while because of eczema. As soon as the eczema went away the swelling went down too.

It’s a good idea to check it out though.

And I did panic too when I first felt them! Good luck!

Could be swollen lymph nodes or maybe small lipomas. Lipomas are usually harmless. Swollen lymph nodes could be from any infection, big or small.

I still get these bumps when I'm fighting off a virus. Often, I don't even get actually "sick" from the virus, because the lymph nodes do such a good job of attacking the invader.

Definitely get it checked out, but don't panic until you have all the facts and tests in.

Why do you have to wait until tomorrow to see the dr? Does your pediatrician have evening hours?
