Q: swollen lymph nodes for a year

Hi, my 12 year old daughter has had swollen lymph nodes in her neck for about a year now. I thought they went away but when she recently started getting fevers for no reason, I asked her if they went away and she said no. They are so large now that they protrude both front and back of her neck when she turns her head. She has a doctor's appt. this Friday. She developed another fever today along with stomach pain. She has taken a 10 day supply of antibiotics and her lymph nodes are still huge. Any suggestions of what her doctor may do next? I'm a worried mom.

Swollen Lymph Nodes

Hi, thank you for the link. Her doctors are still sending her to one place after another in search of the cause of her lymph nodes. They are now on both sides of her neck and have spread to under her arms on both sides. The CAT scan came back clean for lymphoma, and a chest x-ray showed no abnormalities, but still they continue to grow. Thank you for the blessings and please keep her in your prayers.
In Christ,
Brandi
