Soon as inflamed lymph nodes

Hello everyone. 

New here . 3 weeks ago took my 14 month old son to doctors as he had couple lymph nodes  up in both sides off his grion. Week later had one up in his armpit  . Few days after took back doctor  where  he had another one up in his collarbone . And one in behiden  his ear.  We got a ultra scan on Wednesday.  Will they scan all there areas where there up? Dping nowt but worry xx 

  • Hello Lissalou89mum

    I'm sorry to hear that your son has had some health concerns recently. It sounds as if the GP is being thorough in requesting an ultrasound for these raised lymph nodes. I'm unsure if the hospital will scan all the raised nodes. It may depend on what the GP requested and local policies but do ask the ultrasound technician when you go to the appointment. 

    In the meantime if you'd like to talk to one of our nurses about your concerns then you're welcome to give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that the scan gives you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
