Hi everyone,
looking for advice and to help with my health anxiety.
my son who is 2 and a half years old and has had one swollen lymph node for 9/10 months now in his left side of his neck. This started at the beginning of the first lock down, I pushed for him to be seen which he eventually was in July, where we got told it was a reactive lymph node. Then in late August, he had 2 more appear on his left side and 2 more in right side totalling of 5 in his neck. We then took him to doctors which they found 2 more in his groien, total of 7 all togethe. He had blood tests and was seen in a&e by a consultant. They done his bloods which showed low white blood cells, and low anemia levels. They then repeated blood tests in 4 weeks which showed improvement in both levels along with showing he had had glandular fever or the EPV virus. He hasn't lost any weight or doesn't have any other concerning symptoms. He wakes up occasionally wet with sweat but his also been teething his back teeth this whole time. The GPs say no further action but I just can't deal with the anxiety as then lymph nodes are still clearly there, I just wish they'd go down and disappear. The doctors can't give me a definite time for them to go down. He occasionally itches his neck which gets my anxiety even worse. I don't really have anyone around me I can talk too as no one understands my anxiety.
If you was in my position what would you do?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
