Hope all is ok :hug:
We had a similar reaction to a virus DD had. We were at the hospital already for asthma follow up apt. The DS's scared the crap out of us. But it turned out to be glands. I hope it's just glands *hugs*
Read this last night. Hope all is ok and hospital don't muck you around.
Hopefully you can get some answers and your boy is ok. :hug:
Hope the hospital visit goes smoothly and you have some good answers soon.
Hope you can get some answers soon. Poor lil guy, and poor mummy and daddy!
Ultrasound done - 3 massively swollen lymph nodes on one side, very mildly enlarged on other side, no sign of puss etc.
Blood taken (that was interesting with a 2yo) and they're doing tests and a culture now.
They're going to start with oral anti-bs they think.
They're thinking bacterial infection.
He did actually get a nasty scrape on his knee maybe 2 weeks ago and dirt got in ... maybe we didn't get it all out?
Could it be that simple?
Hope that does the trick!
It could be PN...it's the bodies natural defense to fighting a virus.
Yep hun, it could be that simple.
I would never have thought a bee sting could do it to my DD but strangely it did. She's been stung since and been fine, but I had a mini heart attack!
I hope your DS has a speedy recovery :)
Hooray for a simple answer! As Lisa said, that can definitely be the cause. My brother's was just from a bad cold that turned into an infection.
Glad all is ok.
So glad all is ok, been thinking of you
Phew! Glad he's ok! This has been a handy thread to follow also- someone mentioned painful lumps in armpits! I've had that a few times during this pregnancy- I never thought to get it seen to =\ it was probably little infected glands. Antibiotics might have cheered me up no end. Aren't bodies just crazy?
PN glad they took you seriously and have started treatment.
I'm glad all is ok. What a stress!
How's everything going now?
Back at hospital :(
:( just saw this. Hope everything is ok PN. thinking of you and your ds :hug:
Hope it's all ok xx
Hope he is okay, thinking of you
Been thinking of your little guy. Hope he's ok
Massive hugs. Praying for you.
Hope all is ok xx
Thinking of you - hope your little boy is ok xx
Oh no :(
Thinking of you. xo
oh no PN.
Thinking of you.
Thinking of you guys. So dam scary. And don't like DRs who make u feel like ur wasting their time.
We pay, if its not what they find stimulating - then go suck a lemon Dr
Le sigh.
We've just got home now.
He's still running a fever, but it's down almost 2 degrees, and so they've said we can manage it at home with Panadol, Nurofen and lots of fluids, and only need to bring him back at 11am for a Paed consult.
We only need to bring him back in earlier if he stops holding down fluids.
He'll be much more comfortable at home - he fell asleep in the car and is now asleep in bed, as is DS2 (thanks to my sister, who drove over here in her PJs and minded him so he could stay in bed asleep!).
DS1 is on antibiotics sufficiently strong that they would eradicate a small army of collingwood supporters.
They think it's a bacterial infection of the lymph nodes. No idea how that comes about, but apparently an aggressive extended dose of antibiotics gets rid of it. They won't be certain for a couple more days, when the cultures come back, but they've done an ultrasound and some general bloodwork and some physical examinations, and that's what they think.
Off to bed for this little black duck. I am the tired.
Few! what a day for you guys :hug:
hope he stabilizes over night and abs start working fast.
Have a refreshing and good sleep. for all :)
Good news it's not more serious but still yuk to hear he's so sick.
Hope you get some rest.
I hope you all got some rest last night and that he is on the mend today!
Hurrah for sisters in PJs! Boooooo for bacterial infections. Glad he's home with you and crossing everything the super dose of ABs does the trick, and quickly.
Poor little man. Glad they found some answers hon. You must be exhausted x
Hopefully the antibiotics are doing their thing and your little man is improving.
xox
Hope you're getting some rest
Back from the hospital take 3.
They are satisfied that it's a bacterial infection of the lymph nodes, which is probably the best outcome available, and the simplest to treat, so we've been discharged with prescriptions and instructions.
We're all going to have 2 nights worth of sleep now.
The pharmacy still hasn't been able to give us the rest of the antibiotics, because when they tried to order more they learned that their supplier doesn't stock it any longer. So they're trying some other pharmacies, and will get back to us today or tomorrow.
We have enough for today, so we're not going to fuss.
We're just going to sleep. :)
Thanks so much ladies for all your good wishes and prayers.
NB: the paed we saw today (who was really, really lovely) said that these are actually incredibly common and are not worth worrying about - absolutely worth checking up to confirm that's what it is, but they're a stock standard thing, and the most harm they usually do is to parent who see it and immediately think "tumour" :o ... so she's told us what to watch for, what to do, what would occasion a return visit, and when it should start shrinking, and when it should be gone.
So if your kid gets one, by all means take them to the paed or the ED, but breathe while you do. :)
Thank goodness. Glad to hear your son's ok. Hope you get the rest of the meds soon.
Happy sleeping :)
So relieved for you all. Happy sleeping.
