My 15 y/o has suddenly developed 3 painful lumps on her neck. One behind each ear (size of a pea)and one larger one (size of a nickel) on the side of her neck closer to her shoulder.
They are hard and extremely painful. Only shown up in the past 24 hours. They are not bug bites, zits or boils.
They might be swollen lymph nodes but she hasn't been sick and they don't seem in the right place to be lymph glands.
Anyone have any experience with this and know what it is?

She doesn't necessarily have to FEEL sick to BE sick. The lymph nodes are on of our body's protective systems. They filter infection and impurities. If they are swollen but she doesn't feel sick that could be a good thing, meaning they are doing their job. She will need to see her doctor though to find out what the infection is and probably put her on antibiotics.

Sounds like lymph-nodes to me.... I know there are two behind the ears.....
I would get it checked out.. she could have mono, or another serious infection.
I can tell you when I had MONO 15 years ago, I had two golf ball size lumps on my neck..... and even then was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor.... I did not feel as bad as my neck looked either, other than being tired.....

What a fortunate mother you're to have such worrying and in charge ladies. You have got to relatively treasure them. I might suppose that such daughters will have to be rewarded with a unique lunch or dinner out as soon as a month to revel in time clear of the condo and the entire additional duties. Everyone demands a breather from their typical exercises. And I cannot suppose of a higher approach to have one, having fun with a unique meal together with your youngsters, that you just did not need to make or blank up. And you'll be able to simply calm down and revel in their corporation. I'm certain you might discover any person to sit down together with your son, in your getaway of an hour or so. Or probably you might placed him right into a recliner, and prop up his leg and provide him the far off for the TV or a few magazines or books, and permit him entertain himself at the same time you are away that brief at the same time.

She needs medical attention asap, it sounds like they could be in an area of lymph nodes; if you are sure they are not bites! You could try over the counter Benadryl if it's a possibility they are bites (ask your pharmacist). Good Luck!

Perhaps it would be best on this one to seek an actual doctor's opinion not that of a random person online. Especially since your child is involved.

You need to get this checked ASAP. Could be nothing but it could be many things.
