Hypotonia, or low muscle tone, is common in dwarfs, but intelligence and lifespan are usually normal. Defining dwarfism by height alone is problematic because short stature in itself is not a disorder. For example, pygmies have adult male heights of less than 150 cm (4 feet 11 inches) on average.efining dwarfism by height alone is problematic because short stature in itself is not a disorder.

1 Cuts, burns, skin infections, rashes and insect bites may cause lymph nodes to get larger. 2  Swollen lymph nodes on the front of the neck could mean your child has a cold or throat infection.  Swollen lymph nodes in the groin could mean your child has an injury near their lower abdomen or legs.
What should I do if I find swollen lymph glands? Swollen lymph glands due to viral infections are common. For example, lymph glands in the neck may swell up and down if you have frequent throat infections. This is of little concern. Swollen lymph glands are more of a concern if there is no apparent reason for them to swell. Tell your doctor if: 1  You find swollen lymph glands and you do not know why they have swollen. For example, you do not have an infection to cause them to swell. 2  You find swollen lymph glands just above or just below your collar bone (clavicle). Swollen glands in this area are more likely to suggest a cause for concern.
