I posted this a few days ago in the toddlers forum but didn't get any advice.
My daughter has had fevers on and off almost every two weeks since July. In December she was admitted to the hospital for testing. She has had so much blood work and chest X-rays and everything comes back fine. After she was in the hospital, I found two lumps in her neck. I mentioned them to her doctor but he brushed them off as being normal.
Long story short, since then, more lumps are appearing. The other ones don't go away. Some have gotten bigger. I checked her neck a little while ago and she has so many lumps on one side I can't count them. She was seen by a different pediatrician last week and she also said these lumps are normal.
I'm so worried...if they are normal why is she getting more?? Why are some getting bigger?? Someone pleeease give me advice. I'm at my wits end.

they could be the swelling of lymph nodes from when she gets sick, if she's sick so often then that would explain why they don't go away. I have some permenantly swollen ones in my neck too. Just a guess though, I'm no doctor.

I should have added that when she gets these fevers she has no other symptoms with it.

ask them what the lumps are. Have they told you what causes the fevers??

They have no idea what is causing the fevers. They have done so many tests with no answers so they are basically throwing their hands up and saying she's fine. But I'm NOT convinced!
