Leukaemia worries

Has anyone any advice for me? So I suffer with really bad health anxiety so I never know if I’m being rational or not…. My 2 and a half year old has been complaining a few days about her ears hurting so I brought her to the doctor today and he checked her ears and said her right ear is a little inflamed but he said she should be ok with calpol and nurofen but also sent an antibiotic to the chemist and told me not to collect it for 2 days to see how she is before I need to give it to her, she has also had a low grade fever for a couple of days and has been complaining on and off when urinating but I never asked the doctor to check this today as she will prob complain once one day and then not complain the next.. she also bruises extremely easy but she always has done and she’s very clumsy always falling, her legs are covered in bruises and she currently has one on her back and one on her cheek but I don’t know if I should be overly concerned about them because she’s bouncing on her trampoline all weekend with her big sister and cousin… she also has cystic fibrosis which she was diagnosed with at 3 weeks old which is what started my health anxiety off, I worry about her terrible and am always afraid I’m going to lose her 😭

@Anxiousmummy1187 sorry I thought I replied to you, yes my daughter also has a feelable lymph node on the back of her head that she has prob around 6-8 weeks too and it hasn’t changed either but of course I’m beside myself with worry over this.. health anxiety is the absolute Worst 😩
