Hi All,
I am just wondering what would you do .
Long story so bear with me.
2 month ago I found a lump on my 7 years old girl neck and she was complaining of being more tired and had a leg pain mainly in the evening.
We went to our Gp who sent us for an ultrasound and blood test.
Ultrasound came back as reactive lymph node and blood test came back ok also.
A few days after her blood test I’ve realised that she has very few red spots on her body ( mainly neck and back area) but I found on her leg tummy etc .
They were not fading under the glass.
Next day we went to our Gp who said it is petechiae but as she has only a few and had a blood test not a long time ago she is not concerned as it can be from lots of things ( heat scratch etc)
She got few spots every day here and there and they were fading by next day or so but she kept getting new ones.
We asked the Gp again who said she is not concerned.
The spots stopped coming for 2 weeks and I was so relieved however this Monday when she had around 40 on her shoulders , no fever no sickness and keep getting few ones every day mainly on her back and neck .
Next day the same so we went to the Er.
The doctor looked at me with a very big open eyes saying that they are petechiae but this is not the kind of petechiae they are worried about.
However he ordered for blood which came back ok, however her haemoglobin was borderline.
( the blood test a month ago was in the morning that one was in the evening so they can cause the differences maybe )
I honestly do not know what to do at this point.
Should I push for specific blood tests? Should I go back to my Gp to refer us somewhere else?
Or should I be calm that her full blood count came back ok?
Did any of you were in similar situation? What was the outcome?
I am honestly very nervous.
Many thanks.
