Avatar n tn My son (aged 2) has 3 enlarged nodes in his neck, one over 2inch long and pretruding, and one in his groin. He has seen the pedritician and they have said that 2 in his neck and 1 in his groin are all within the normal limits (although the one is larger than a grape?) the one that is longer than two inches she said was larger than normal but felt ok to her. They did a blood count (normal) and test for glandular fever and told me to not worry.
Avatar f tn What you've read, I think, is that most people get major depression or anxiety problems in their late teens or twenties. But some do get it at other ages. Childhood anxiety is considered to be different from adult anxiety, but again, if for you it's been the same all along with no break then that's you. But it sounds like your childhood anxieties did calm down. For some, anxiety is caused by trauma, but for others we can't find the reason.
Avatar f tn All i know is you get these lil red bumps on u they can be on ur hands feet and in your mouth. I started out with a fever and a sore throat then started gettin the red bumps on my hands.
Avatar f tn it looked like i had a sweet in my mouth but thismorning i woke up and the swelling has reached my left eye and my glad in my throat is also sore i have been told by family that it may well be an abcess. i know i have to vistit the dentist but with 2 toddlers and a partner in hospital its imposible to vistit, whats the longest time i can go untreated before it gets serious.
Avatar f tn I am just looking for some opinions. I have been doing lots of research in hopes of helping him in the interim year that we are waiting for an appt. and we do have another appt with the ped next week. I have also gotten him into a clinic that is funded by the Autism Alliance for an evaluation by them...although it will not be an official diagnosis it will help sort some things out, I hope. Thanks so much for reading and giving any input.
Avatar n tn My son, who is rarely ill, has all the sudden gotten fever, headache, severe stabbing pains in his head, sensitivity to light, dry throat, dizziness and nausea. I thought that he had been in the sun to long and have given him ibprophen and had him take a cool bath and given him ice water to drink. It assists the fever, but the stabbing pains remain, and are untouched by the pain meds. This of course just had to fall on the weekend.....
Avatar f tn I woke up today feeling sharp pain in my chest/lung area and up through my throat. I am having a lot of trouble breathing in and feel like its an infection somewhere but I can't pinpoint where because it hurts throughout my chest and into my throat. It doesn't hurt when I cough or when I'm in an upright sitting position but it hurts a lot when I lay down probably because of gravity. I also get very dizzy like when I went up the stairs I almost blacked out.
1214043 tn?1266316769 To make a VERY long story short, he would wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain, he started to cry in the middle of something, then it would go away like nothing happened. It was either head hurting, knees or feet. It was hard to get a specific with a 2 year old. I kept bringing him to the dr's. I was told growing pains, too. I brought him to the ER at one point and he had a spinal tap and was admitted. But they couldn't find what was wrong.
Avatar m tn Im 37 years old male, start of 2014 I got really sick, lost 17kg in two weeks and started having non stop throat problems, My local GP is useless! All he has diagnosed me with is anxiety and has given me somac for acid reflux which is not helping. It feels like someone is strangling me all the time, my glands are always swollen and I'm always spitting out a thick white phlem, plus coughing up a green & yellow moucus that is in a clear thick phlem .
Avatar f tn It sounds like you need some rest and gargle with salt water to heal your throat. You can put 1 tsp of salt in a cup of warm water and gargle several times a day. A little honey in warm water or herbal tea helps sooth the throat as well. The blood test was for HSV past infection unless it was IgM postiive? Usually the IgG is positive and that is past infection. If they don't say it is past infection unless they did a Herpes culture for type 1 and 2?
Avatar f tn Its just when these things are going down. I have no pains in my chest only my throat. Its like its on fire. The cooling of eating ice makes it better after a while.
Avatar m tn I recently visit an ENT because i was having problems with phelgm clearing, horseness with my throat. ENT said i have a few vocal cord noduls and my throat looked a little sore. He has me on prilosec, because he figures it GERD. Med seem to help a little, but still having phelgm and horseness. Will visit ENT again in a few weeks. Another problem is my neck is begining to cause pain on bith left and right sides.
Avatar n tn I have been having throat problems for a few months. I have had an EGDP, Upper Gi Series, and modified barium swallow and continue to feel like there's something stuck in my throat. I was told I have a heinal hernia. What other tests can I take to get help and be healed?
Avatar n tn Last week I open up her throat and have noticed something in her throat. Guess what i found was a very long epiglottis almost touching that other hangy ball thing in her throat. What is also weird is this thing is curled(very curled at the tip). One doc told me he has never seen one that was so visible like that. He asked me what did her pediatrician think. My question is could this be causing her very bad coughing all day long and snoring that sounds like a 200 pound man at night.
Avatar n tn Thanks for answering but the like swollen gland in my throat like a feeling of tightness for so long ? Can cold come and go like that?

Avatar m tn Chalazions in toddlers occur in two forms, the "internal" variety and the "external" variety. Your description is not totally clear, but it sounds like this bump is trying to drain on the skin side, which would make it an external chalazion. These do leave small skin scars when they drain which usually fade away to almost invisibility over time.
Avatar n tn Is it possible for a hiatial hernia to cause problems with my throat and voice. My symptoms are loss of voice when I talk for a little while---I can no longer sing---I can't get any range at all----my voice has grown so low that when I answer the phone people think its my husband answering. If you have any ideas I'd certainly appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Avatar f tn He sometimes hits it so hard he bleeds or bruises I am very concerned about this. Ive heard that most toddlers hit themselves (which he also does), but I have never seen this. what can I do to stop this before he seriously hurts himself?
999780 tn?1263671971 thanks if you look on the http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Parenting-Toddlers-1-5/Recurring-HIGH-fever-in-a-1-year-old/show/353218?personal_page_id=893678#post_5566710 that link and look for my posts under protea then you will find that we battled with this since June 28 last year.he was in the hospital twice and saw every specialist out there.He also has a heart condition.He even had his immune function tested and everything came out normal, so it was really hard for me to buy the virus theory.
Avatar n tn Hi! Yes, I've talked to many families where their toddlers were on a pump. The youngest I've heard for going on a pump from our endo's office is an 8 month old. You get a good pump pouch, and you lock out the buttons so that the child can't just start pushing buttons. Toddler activity doesn't seem to bother the equipment, from what I'm told. You're more likely to deal with holes in the knees of his pants than problems with the pump or the sites!
Avatar f tn Hi. Well, one thing you can begin to work on is helping find ways to express anger. Clearly he has trouble self soothing. Whether that grows into more, time will tell but it is indeed common for toddlers to have difficulty expressing intense emotions well. Why he hurts himself to such an extent as giving himself goose eggs either means he is so engrossed in his tantrum that he can't stop the impulses even if it hurts or he is underresponsive to pain.
Avatar f tn Oh I see, well this article was just referring to pacs in unborn babies, infants and toddlers. Hopefully all is well. Let us know.
