A lot of enlarged lymph nodes in neck

Hi so about 2 months ago my daughter age 9 was complain of a lot of pain in her neck for 2 weeks we brushed off and told her to sit better sleep without pillows in the end went out of hours the next day the doctor rang us to arrange an ultrasound that showed 2 enlarged at 1cm each and 10 small lymph nodes in the neck doctor then referred us to a paediatrician waited 4 weeks for this app pain continues every day at the app he sent us for a chest X-ray and bloods and examined her neck he showed me how there were more bigger ones we are up to 4 enlarged so today X-ray looks normal and bloods are within normal range but nodes are still up pain is still there and we have to wait 3 more days to find out what the next step is but I'm going out of my mind 

  • Hello mumof3girls-worried

    I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's ongoing health problems. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about what may be causing these symptoms. It's good to know that the Paediatrician is already investigating what's going on. Hopefully your appointment later this week will give you some answers and reassurance as well as helping to get a handle on her pain. 

    If you want to chat things through with our team of nurses at any point you are most welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040 and I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support that they can. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how things go. 

    Best wishes,
