Hi
My 4 year old has had 3 temperatures this month with cold (runny nose, cough). My other kids (9 and 5 moths have also had temperature once each).
Took 4 year old to doctors to ask about this and she examined his lymph nodes and said that they were up round his neck and also found raised at the top of his left leg. She said if he'd had a foot infection she'd expect this. She suggested a blood test. I said he was otherwise well and full fo beans and not too ill with this. I asked what could this mean and she said there could be lots of things but it would be good to get it checked out. She also asked if he'd been in hospital for something or if he'd been around TB.
My anxiety has gotten really bad as I'm seeing the worst and finding it hard to rationalise. Does anyone have any ideas as to what all this means?
Thanks
Monica
