Swollen Grands Throughout Body In My 2-1/2 Year Old Posted: 05-16-05 17:02pm
My son has swollen lymph nodes throughout
his body: back of head, neck down to his
collar bone, arm pits, groin. I have
taken him to the doctor and they keep
blowing me off. I told them that he had
been on protopic & elidel since he was
6 months they finally ran a cbc. The
first one showed his white blood count to
be 26, then next one showed 13, then the
next was normal. He keeps getting sick,
though. One thing after another. He was
born with eczema. Lately he's had an
upper respiratory infection, pink eye,
stomach flu, a rash all over his body, and
lots of allergy symptoms like running
itchy nose, sneezing, etc.
I keep taking him back to the doctors and
finally last week they ordered a
quantitative immunoglobin (sp?) and are
waiting for the results. I'm scared out
of my mind. When I look these symptoms up
they point to lymphoma. The doctors say
that's not what it is, but what else could
it be? I can't stop thinking and worrying
about it.

Well, the only thing that would help you
right now is to call riley hospital in
indianapolis, in or even st. Judes in
tenn. Riley has a "phone nurse" that
will accept a faxed copy of the blood
results you receive from the lab. You
can get a copy of these for your personal
records. I did this last week for my
son. They gave me the fax number and had
me called back within 10 minutes. They
have great doctors and gave me really
great advice on what to do and explained
in detail the results.
