I took my daughter Harriet (16 months) to a local NHS walk-in-centre yesterday cos I noticed she had pea-like lumps in her neck, they had been there a while. The nurse I saw recommended I saw my gp which I did today and he said the lumps were swollen lymph nodes and he also found some in her groin area.
He did say that it COULD be down to something minor but I can't help feeling that its something more serious - and I did a stupid thing - I googled "swollen lymph nodes" and the worst-case scenarios came up.
I now can't eat or sleep and everytime I look at Harriet I burst out crying and it would help me knowing that there are people out there sending healing to her. If it helps her D.O.B. is 23.08.08. Also, if anyone here picks anything up about this, I would be grateful
Thank you for your help.
Blessings
Donna.
hi donna, my neice had exactly the same thing last year , she was 7 at the time, can't remember the exact name for it but it cleared up after a course of anti B's from the doctor, she was also sent for tests which came out clear, its very difficult not to worry. sending love & good wishes to you & your family
love maryxxxx
Hiya Donna.....Sending you both much love, healing and strength........Harriet is in my prayers.
The lymph system does a very good job of looking after your immune system and sorting out bacterial and viral infections - my lymph nodes used to be visible through my skin when I was little - my Mum always knew that I was about to come down with something - it was usually tonsillitis! Stop googling and keep her warm and occupied.
She could be on the onset of a simple cold, Lymph nodes and the immune system are compromised at this time of year when all those little nasty lurgies/and cold germs are about. As Jabba said, stop googling...:), hope you are both feeling better soon
