My son has a 2cm swollen area on the side of his neck and we've been told it's reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. He's also been coughing a lot. I'm really concerned and I'm trying to understand what might be going on. Could you help me figure out what's happening? Is there something specific we should be worried about or watch for?
