Hello and thanks for your post

I’m sorry you are worried about your son and these ongoing raised lymph nodes he seems to have. Ongoing symptoms can cause a lot of anxiety, especially when it's to do with your child.

It is good that his ultrasound came back clear. You would normally expect something abnormal to show up if something sinister was going on. It's not unusual for doctors to order blood tests in a few weeks’ time. They want to check that your son’s recent infection has cleared. If your doctor suspected lymphoma they would have discussed this with you.

Small swollen lymph nodes are common in young children especially as their immune system is developing and they are exposed to coughs and colds and other viruses. It isn't unusual for these to remain swollen for many years and doesn't usually cause the child any harm. This condition is known as reactive lymphadenopathy.

I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
