Last week me and my gf noticed a hard lump on our little boy's chest. So we took him to the doctors and she didn't seem too concerned and said it was probably just his sternum and mentioned something called the xiphoid process and that settled our worries. However, nursery contacted use yesterday and asked if they were aware of it, we told them we had already seen the doctor and she gave us the okay. But because nursery seemed concerned it put that doubt in our minds so we asked to see a different doctor for a second opinion.
Been back today and the other doctor also seems to think it is the xiphoid process but is sending us an appointment to have a scan just for piece of mind. Obviously this is a good thing to be doing but this is just making me worry even more now in case it is something else.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? Just for clarity my son is 11 months old and it only first appeared last week but the week before he was ill with a nasty bug and some people seem to think this can make it flare up.
Can anyone help? Until this scan I am going to be beside myself with worry.
