Hi to you all, I am a lurker who reads threads but very rarely post. However I am really worried about my daughter and wondered if anyone could help. She had been suffering from a cold, chesty cough etc and got worse throughout the night I took her to a&e in the morning and they advised a chest infection with an ear infection as well, whilst we were there the consultant noticed a lump in her groin which has been there for ages and started asking me questions, does she bruise easily etc and then advised me to contact the doctors. I have been and they have advised me to go the hospital and now I'm really worried. The lump is probaly an enlarged gland and has been there for at least a couple of months, its hard and rubbery and doesn't seem to bother her. She hasn't been particulary ill, just the usual which responds to nurofen, no weight loss etc, I don't think its a hernia because its not soft. No easy bruising. The only thing I would say is that she wants me to pick her up all the time. Anybody ever had this?
