My kid has been sick (ear infection and on antibiotic) recovered and gets another cold 3 weeks apart. She is recovering fine (active, eating beside the coughing) but I took her to the doctor to check on her coughing. During exam the doctor felt her neck lymph nodes and told me this "they are a little bit swollen because she is fighting the cold. Give it at least a week. It's expected"
I shall trust the doctor and get reassurance from that. However, I'm now starting to worry of the unrealistic what-if like they don't come down? What if this, what if that, and it is driving me concerned. The thing is that i tried to feel her neck and I can't feel the swollen ones. How would I know if they go down later? She has an annual exam next month. I will bring it up but until then, the fear is in me. Sigh.
Being a parent multiply my worries. Sometime I feel like I'm the only weird one in the world. Instead of enjoying her, I keep on worry about things that I can't control.
