Hi I’m hoping someone can help,
back in August my dd suffered a nasty virus which landed her in Hospital for a few days because of an ongoing temp. Bloods were done over 2 weeks 3 times and all normalised and sent home with reassurance this was long self limiting virus.
since then I’ve had a lot of healthy anxiety about her, something I have always suffered with but seems to exaggerated things much more.
I have been on high alert since watching her every move, every symptom and using dr google.
she returned to school at the beginning on September and has had a few colds, currently in the middle of one now, a lymph node has come up in her neck in the last few days I would say it’s around the size of a penny, it’s longer than it is wide, it moves easily and almost can’t feel it when lying down but noticeable when she turns her head.
Gp has not seen it but a telephone call was very reassuring she reconfirmed her bloods from 10 weeks ago and advised nothing suggested any follow up was needed and the node aslong no bigger than 2cm is related to this cold she has at the moment.
its worth noting that since being 2 she has had two appointments with consultants regarding other palpable nodes which were confirmed as being benign due to their size and mobility, all those nodes as still palpable but have never changed in 4 years.
I’m looking for some reassurance from other parents who’s children have had larger than normal nodes and have returned to normal.
In recent months since her long virus my mind instantly runs to cancer with any symptom she has, it’s worth noting that her energy is great, appetite is great and aside from these common colds since going back to school seems very well on her self
