Hi Mums,
Apologies for the long post:
My 7yr old DS has had enlarged nodes under his jaw on both side as well as a few smaller ones down the left side of his neck since he was 2 if not earlier. I have been to numerous Dr's numerous times. He's had many blood tests even a biopsy when he was 4 and all came back clear. He sometimes gets a 'bad taste' and needs to throw up for no apparent reason but is fine after.
Late month I had taken him to the paed for that, he did run bloods but said sounds like acid reflux.
The blood results were fine accept his neutrophils which were within range was n the lower end and Lymphocytes within range but on the higher end. Platelets were 425 which was 25 over the normal range. Dr said bloods look fine and platelets can go up to 450 and still be 'normal' I asked if he needed repeat bloods and he said no.
Recently I noticed the nodes under his jaws flared up a bit but he does have a bit of a cold so I put it down to that. 2 days ago he complained of pain in his left leg. it went off after a while. This morning he again limped from the bathroom as he was getting ready for school and said his leg is sore again, which subsided not long after. He hasn't been a good eater ever since a baby, very picky. He's quiet slim, and has dark shadows under his eyes.
I am an overthinker and tend to google too much and as you know google always adds to your anxiety. Although Dr's seem to say he's fine I keep worrying and questioning every little cough, sniffle or pain he has.
Has anyone else's child experienced persistent enlarged glands or similar.
Please help.
