Stuff like deep breathing, exercise, skin brushing (there are brushes to buy for this), massage (any kind, or specialized kinds designed for lymph).... best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hey Lindy, My older son (non apraxic) had a swollen lymph node on his neck when he was 3 1/2. He had it removed when he had hernia surgery. The doctors didn't want to chance anything because he had had eye cancer when he was 2 years old, and had his right eye removed. It wasn't anything(as they suspected,but where cautious). Your sons swollen gland really may be nothing. Hope you get some answers from the doctors soon.
