Hi 

6 weeks ago I noticed a lump on my 7yr olds neck. Bearing in mind he is a very active child so doesn't sit still long enough for me to see anything. Anyway he wasn't I'll, not complaining of any pain or anything, rang dr's and they said they wasn't interested in seeing him unless he has had it for 6 weeks. I went through pictures on my phone and noticed he has had it for a couple of weeks before I actually noticed. I waited 2 weeks and lump had gone bigger so rang up Dr's again, same response as last time but this time I put my foot down and got an appointment, the nurse looked and said he has a swollen tonsil on same side as swollen gland. He still didn't feel unwell, still didn't complain of any pain etc, but I noticed he has gone off a lot of food and appetite is poor, sweats loads when he sleeps and sleeps more then usual. She gave him antibiotics which didn't help and lump has got bigger, so took some blood. 

All bloods came back ok but just showed inflammation. 2 weeks from that we saw consultant and he arranged for ultrasound the next day. 

Now I'm worrying as had ultrasound and they are booking us in for a second one in 2 weeks to look at the size again. They said something about reactive lymphnode and glandular fever, my boy has never had glandular fever. 

I'm just worried now as why would we be going back for second ultrasound scan if it's just a reactive lymphnode. 

Anyone been in a similar situation and help out a worried mother at ease.
