Bilateral enlarged upper anterior cervical nodes noted, 21X 9 mm on right and 22X9mm on left, non matted and non necrotic. IMPRESSIONS- BILATERAL ENLARGED UPPER ANTERIOR CERVICAL NODES NOTED 21X9MM ON RIGHT AND 22X9MM ON LEFT, NON MATTED AND NON NECROTIC".

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
thanks for your query at HCM
The pattern of feeding should be changed .the rate of growth slows down at this age group. Dont push her to eat more.
Give her as much as she can tolerate.
Do deworm her every 6 monthly . follow strict hand washing technique.

Do her lymph node biopsy and tuberculosis test after evaluation from your consultant.
i will be available for your help
wishing you a speedy recovery
take care
regards
Dr. Imran Hussain
