So I've been panicking for over 3 weeks now about a swollen gland in my sons neck. I had originally thought due to a bit of a cold.
This gland is below his ear and next to his jaw, it's just over 2cm long and is moveable one way. It's not soft but not totally rock solid either. He has had a runny nose on and off with a slight cough.
Dr checked him over and gave him a course of antibiotics. His throat is slightly red, the Dr thinks he may have a bit of an infection that hasn't fully disappeared (he had chickenpox in Feb and a full blown cold straight after that)
Back in two weeks and if the gland hasn't gone down then he will be referred to a paediatrician.
He named the gland and said its suggestive of head and/or neck infection.
True to form my panic hasn't faded one little bit!
