hello I’m asking for my daughter her name is (…) born 29.09.2008 she has had viral bronchitis for 6 days now she has improved its at night she suffers with a bad cough she has now got a sore swollen lump just under her ear I’m assuming a gland but it is sore and enlarged that you can see it she has no temperature with it and calpol does not take away the pain?

hi,
viral bronchitis usually takes many days to heal up.
you need to consider bacterial infection as well.
if just calpol is not helping,you can give ibuprofen + paracetamol.
starting on antibiotics may help faster recovery.
the enlarged lumps may be lymph nodes.
thanks
