Toddler with persistent swollen nodes

Hi all, 

I first noticed a lump on my 1 Yr old neck back in August, had it checked by gp who was happy that it was a swollen lymph node & it would ease off that he was probably brewing something   fast forward a few weeks, more appeared so he was sent to the hospital for bloods.. Wouldn't do bloods because he was happy and well in himself. Again its probably from sickness, he hasn't been sick in months (thank god). He lost 2 kg in less than 2 weeks, the lumps are growing one has gone from a pea size to now a marble size, some are coming up in his other side of the neck along with down by his groin..

So sorry for the long post, we're waiting for him to be seen by a paediatrician. He was always a great child for food, lately its hit and miss, he might only snack for days..

I'm not really sure why I'm posting but maybe anyone has had any similar experiences? :neutral: I'm at a loss

  • I'm sorry that the lumps on your son's neck seem to be growing Nicki but hopefully he won't have to wait too much longer to be seen by the paediatrician.

    We have had a few posts on the forum from members in a similar position so hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice but in the meantime I just wanted you to know we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
