Hi , I have read up on your email that you have sent , and it could be that your son has hyperthyroidism - over production of thyroid hormone (please dont quote me on it , I am not a doctor!!) this regulates many aspects of our metabolism eventually affecting how many calories we burn , how warm we feel , and how much we weigh. Common symptons are ; palpitations, heat intolerance , nervousness , insomnia , breathlessness, increased bowel movements , fatigue, fast heart rate, trembling hands, weight loss , muscle weakness , warm moist skin , hair loss, staring gaze, signs & symptons have different medical meaning , symptons are problems that a patient notices or feels and signs are those that a physician can objectively detect or measure. Please let me know how he gets on , I am sure it isnt this. I thought I would try and help in some way , as I know how parents worry.

I also noticed that my three year old had two swollen moth ball sized 0n both sides of his neck. He has been on antibiotics three times. I noticed them in December when I was feeling around his neck. The doctor gave him antibiotics for ten days. It decreased in size by a small amount. The doctor decided to give him more antibiotics at a stronger doze for ten days. It did not make much of a difference. So they gave him a third kind of antibiotics for another ten days. The doctor recommended to see a specialist. They said if with this third antibiotic it does not go away then it needs to be removed. I am really concerned because my son is only three. There has to be another option. It's nice to know that I am not alone.

My three year old son was diagnosed with Lymph Node. They said that it is abstractin his breathing. If the antibiotics don't work they may have to remove them. Can anyone tell me more about this procedure and how it will effect him after it is removed?
