Enormous, random egg sized lump on DS1 (2yo's) neck?

[Ginger]

hope your dh is at the hospital with him now and it all gets sorted

[Elocin]

Hope everything is going ok at the hospital Nutter x

Hope they're being well looked after now! Can imagine it must be very worrying and of course you have to find out what it is.

Hope you get answers PN, I have just gone through finding a lump in my underarm it turns out it was related to my sinuses and infections but no fever etc like BG a strong course of ab's cleared it up.

[~Hestia~]

Hope all is ok

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*

[FabFiona]

Read this last night. Hope all is ok and hospital don't muck you around.

[Jewel]

Hopefully you can get some answers and your boy is ok.

[MistyFying]

Hope the hospital visit goes smoothly and you have some good answers soon.

[Razzberry]

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?

[onthefly]

Hope that does the trick!

[~me~]

It could be PN...it's the bodies natural defense to fighting a virus.

[Lisa]

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

[Teeki]

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.

[Tinks]

Glad all is ok.

[Calluna]

So glad all is ok, been thinking of you

[Katters]

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?
