Toddler lumps in neck

Hi - sorry for the long post but I just don't know what to do.

5 weeks ago my 3 year old daughter had a slight cold, then 4 weeks ago an inch long lump came up in the base of her neck, along with a few other pea sized ones, she was in pain and couldn't move her neck freely, so took her to the doctor who said probably just from the cold she had and if doesn't go down in 2 weeks bring her back. It had gone down slightly after 2 weeks but was still there along with the little ones, she is well in herself but just her neck causing her pain and she isn't sleeping well because of it. So took her back to the doctor who said to wait another 2 weeks to see if it goes down. But 4 days ago another inch long lump came up on the other side of her neck.. 

Do I wait until 10th nov, when we have a check up booked with the doctor or should I ring and go back? 
 

I just don't know what to do. 

  • Hi Katrina and welcome to the forum.

    I'm very sorry to hear what your daughter is contending with at the moment. I know how worrying this must be but I hope since making this post you've been able to decide what to do and are a step closer to getting some answers and peace of mind.

    There have been quite a few posts on the forum within the last couple of months from other parents in a similar situation so hopefully some of them will pick up on your post soon and share their experiences and advice.

    We're thinking of you Katrina and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
