Lymph nodes in little girls neck

I'm concerned about finding a lump in little ones neck dr says it's raised lymph nodes and she found another 2. She has been unwell with one thing and another throughout December- the dr says to return in 2 weeks to have them examined and potentially have blood tests if they have not gone. Now I have the worry for two weeks what it could be- any body else experienced this ??

I actually went back this morning to get a second opinion from another doctor as I was so anxious, but he said the exact same thing as the other doctor and told me to put it to the back of my mind and forget about it. Easier said than done 😅 but I guess I will have to try!

Hi everyone

my daughter was refused a scan after months and months of complaining however she was seen by a paediatrics consult who did loads of bloods and even a lymph node blood test which was all normal! They have her a full body check over which was all normal
However after about 12/15 months they have GONE!
if she is unwell they do pop back up in the same
place but I know for all you parents how scary and worrying it is.
hope this helps anyone who is worried

In the nicest possible way, have you considered the possibility that your child is in good physical health, but that you have health anxiety that isn't being addressed at the moment?

@Unseenentity yes its true i am always thinking to get her blood test done bt due to tht health anxiety i couldn't go for i always think tht if there will be something suspicious in blood work then what will i do
She is an IVF girl blessed with her after more thn 8 yrs of our marriage. In one word she is my everything thts why always thinking if she has something serious. 😔 😟
